Charles Matton (13 September 1931-19 November 2008), was a French multidisciplinary artist: painter, sculptor, designer, writer, photographer, videographer, he was also a film maker (writer and director).
In the mid-1980s,  he constructed detailed models of the interiors in small boxes, and then carefully photographed those, eventually exhibiting the models together with the prints and paintings derived from them. The dolls’-house miniatures attracted such attention, that they soon became and end in themselves.
