| leaving france is always sad, so to make it a little easier we try to fit in one last interesting activity. mostly we end up in paris, but this time i wanted to go back to the house of 'picassiette', where i had been in the early 60's, when the artist was still alive. i was very curious to see if it was still there. |
| Raymond Isidore covered his whole house, his shed and little garden with mosaics made of bits of broken crockery he would find everywhere. the result is stunning and a beautiful example of what is now called 'l'art brut'. luckily, the city of chartres has realised its uniqueness and they now take good care of 'la maison de picassiette'. |
| two other open air 'art brut' sites in france are 'le chateau du facteur cheval' and 'le manege de petit pierre'. all are well documented on the internet. |
