François Perdrial's speech in the Musée des Beaux-arts

In nineteen fifty seven, in this museum Célestin and Elise Freinet inaugurated the house of the Child in which was a very big exhibitio of more than one hundred children's drawings,

 

It is to this opportunity that was given to the museum a series of drawings which you saw,

 

The Museum of Fine Arts of Nantes, to join to the twenty-eight RIDEF, decided to make an exhibitionle allowing to bind Chaissac-Dubuffet and Freinet,

 

Antoinette Mengué and his colleagues of the Cameroonian movement of the Modern School were able to find with a quite particular emotion the drawings of nineteen fifty seven of the children of Pitoa, and it in a space so prestigious, Which had believed that we can one day gather in the same room a Picasso and children's drawings? Thank you M Rousseau, you gave us a big happiness,

 

We thank the staff of the Museum of the Fine arts, Mrs theConservative and we thank Mrs Guibert who represents the city of Nantes partner of this twenty eight RIDEF

 

Thank you Mrs Guibert and M Rousseau for your welcome

François Perdrial
