• ... that Armand Avril was self-taught as an artist, inspired by African art and the assembled objects of Louis Pons?
  • ALT1: ... that Armand Avril travelled in Africa in 1960 for a year, where he was inspired by Louis Pons to assemble "bottle caps, clothespins, glue, nails and empty tin cans"?
  • Reviewed: Sweet Sulphur Springs, Autostrada Biennale
  • Comment: an image of his art would be nice, but the only one we have has an impossible format for this purpose and doesn't match the style described.

• Article looks good -- no obvious copyright violations. If you don't mind I'll just review ALT1 since I can't speak French and I think that ALT1 is more interesting. It matches the source and article and looks good. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:20, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
