Fair use image[edit]

Just to keep track of things, I opened up a question about adding a non-free image under "fair use" at this link.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:44, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Horace Pippin in the public domain?[edit]

Citation needed in lead[edit]

It looks like some claims in the lead paragraph are not thoroughly cited. The first sentence asserting Pippin's status as the most successful African-American artist of the 1940s is not supported by the source that follows it which says, "He is acclaimed to be one of America's best primitive artists".[1] Is there a better source for this or should it be removed? --Meierblue (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's been deleted. To call somebody "arguably the most" anything is an expression of opinion, and opinion generally does not belong in the lead sentence of an article. With a source it could go back in an appropriate section. Ewulp (talk) 03:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correction for End of War[edit]

The line: "His first oil painting,The Ending of the War, Starting Home, depicts a military engagement resembling the assault on Sechault, in which he was wounded and his regiment was decimated." is incorrect. This picture depicts the cease-fire on November 11. At that time Pippin would have been recovering in a hospital after his arm was shot in October.Meierblue (talk) 13:55, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Meierblue[reply]
