Il serait originaire de Turquie et d’Iran et aurait été ramené en France au temps des croisades. Dans les années 1930, les sœurs Léger développent la race essentiellement grâce à des sujets de Belle-Île-en-Mer1. La race est reconnue en 1939. Le chartreux est au bord de l’extinction après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et des mariages malheureux avec le british shorthair, mais l'élaboration de critères sélectifs très précis dans les années 1980 a permis la reconstitution de la race initiale.
Très connu en France, le chartreux est décrit très tôt dans un poème de Joachim du Bellay. Par la suite, de nombreuses personnalités posséderont des chartreux, au rang desquelles Colette, qui lui dédia des écrits, ou encore Charles de Gaulle. (Wikipédia).

Michel Guillet, versatile artist, has been a figurative pastellist since January 2010. He is an active member of the “Pastel en Dauphiné” association. His artistic passion leads him to explore a multitude of varied motifs without being confined to a specific theme. Whether portraits, landscapes, still lifes or reproductions of works of art, Michel Guillet likes to capture the diversity of the world around him through his pastels.
What particularly sets Michel apart is his commitment to sharing his art with the public. During exhibitions, he engages in live demonstrations, offering visitors an insight into his creative process. He enjoys interacting with “admirers” of his work, informing them about his techniques and sometimes inviting them to actively participate in his demonstrations.
Michel Guillet is self-taught, but he prefers to consider that each of us has artistic talents that are just waiting to be revealed. He believes in everyone's ability to explore their creativity and let their talents flourish with a little practice and support.
Since his retirement in Aix-les-Bains at the beginning of 2012, Michel Guillet has enjoyed the time necessary to discover the splendors of the Alps and devote himself fully to his two passions: pastels and photography, where he excels as a 'amateur. His art reflects his love for the diversity of the world and his desire to share his creativity with the public.
