Foucauld Pérotin ❦ ⧖⃝🇺🇦<p>La journnée mondiale de l’art, le 15 avril, c’est une initiative de l’International Association of Art (IAA) en partenariat avec l’UNESCO.

L’expo Calder en mars 2009 à Beaubourg fut un pur bonheur ! </p><p><a href="https://calder.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">calder.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/AlexanderCalder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlexanderCalder</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Calder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Calder</span></a></p>
