The picplate is, originally, art brut. It was in France that this strange technique was born. We owe it to Raymond Isidore, born in 1900 in Chartres. One day, attracted by the shard of a shard on his way, he picks it up aimlessly and puts it in his pocket. The gear is launched: this debris is only the first of a long series. From 1930 until his death in 1964, Raymond Isidore decorated his house, inside and out, with 60,000 plates. Not a single corner of the wall, not the slightest object escapes its decorative fury. He claims to be guided by a spiritual force. He also added a cathedral to his house and explored religious iconography. Self-taught, R. Isidore delivers his vision of cathedrals, palaces, animals and religious symbols.
A total work of art, a work of raw art, disconcerting and fascinating, the Picassiette house is a significant contribution, not only to the world of art but also to that of craftsmanship. Today his house is classified as a historical monument. Since then, this technique has been taken up by artists based in Provence and also in Vallauris.
