Notably: In those vibrant fragments of the Maison Picassiette in Chartres, the cathedral city southwest of Paris and Versailles, can you locate her, my lovely mother? That photo was taken somewhere in the 1970s by my father, Fouad. It has recently surfaced again: last Sunday, my brother shared the slide with us after scanning it, bringing back a ton of memories. The Maison Picassiette, often known as the House of Millions Pieces, is described as follows on a website: When he was younger, Raymond Isidore (1900–1964) worked as a molder; but, when his health caused him to quit, he obtained employment as a graveyard sweeper. He bought a piece of property in 1929 and started building his family a one-story home. Isidore was inspired to start creating mosaics using shattered ceramic pieces he discovered while out for a stroll in 1938. He installed mosaics throughout his entire home over the course of the following three decades. In addition to his personal dreams, Isidore found inspiration in Christian characters and symbols. In addition, he constructed a wall to enclose the site, a chapel, and a throne, among other smaller buildings. La Maison Picassiette, or The House with a Million Pieces, is the name given to the location. Isidore was known as Picassiette because of his labor and his habit of searching among trash for supplies. This combines the word “assiette” (plate) with Picasso and is a play on the French word “pique-assiette,” which means “scavenger.” Picasso did, in fact, visit the location in 1954. Isidore is seen as one of the pioneers of the trencad s style of mosaics, which is also referred to as pique-assiette.

O happy time! You are still the balm of my life! What were you, though? The light dreams of a deceptive bliss, but so sweet that it still charms my sorrows! O happy time! You have passed, like the fleeing wave, pressed by the one that follows it, always different, while always appearing the same. Thus flow the moments of life: the moment that escapes is gone forever, and time always seems the same; the river of men that flows by always seems composed of old men, of silent men, of youth and children; one sees the same follies, the same crimes, the same rarely sown virtues. An isolated, eternal spectator would believe men to be immortal like him: and they were only for an instant! They had only a moment of life, often of misfortune, and disappear forever into the abyss of eternity, like the water of a river into the abyss of the seas!
From Retif de la Bretonne sMonsieur Nicolas, (1794).
