Ferdinand Cheval
Ferdinand Cheval (Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, 19 aprile 1836 – Hauterives, 19 agosto 1924) è stato uno scultore francese. Il suo nome completo era Joseph Ferdinand Cheval ma era più noto come Ferdinand Cheval ed ancor più come facteur Cheval (in italiano "postino Cheval"). Alla sua consueta attività di postino, Ferdinand Cheval affiancò un'innata passione per la scultura e l'architettura a tal punto da spendere oltre trent'anni della sua vita a costruire il "Palazzo ideale" (Palais Idéal in francese); l'opera fu riconosciuta come straordinario esempio di architettura naïve, con forti connotazioni di Art Brut e ammirato da noti artisti quali André Breton e Pablo Picasso.
