As Mary Hrbacek said in a 2015 review of Garfinkel’s work for Artes Magazine: |
|||
<blockquote>Garfinkel’s modular process morphs the freshness of Japanese-engendered practices to an accessible post-modern mode of hybrid painterly expression. The works pivot on her extreme creative instinct for extending divergent motifs that inscribe meaning to recycled forms, which mine the limits of the abstract genre. Garfinkel’s ability to balance striking elements in an integral visual harmony brings transformation to the borders of imagination, yielding vibrant works whose fundamental truths probe the similarities between Western and Japanese art forms.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hrbacek |first1=Mary |url=https://artesmagazine.com/?p=17434 |publisher=Artes Magazine |date=December 9, 2014}}</ref></blockquote> |

Comment: Material usually should not be taken verbatim from any source. But sometimes this is appropriate, or even desirable. When you do this, you must demonstrate that it's a quotation, using either quotation marks or block formatting. The section "Career" was, in its entirety, pasted from the cited web page; not to indicate this would be plagiarism. This is why I reformatted it. Hoary (talk) 22:45, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: It appears that Ms Hrbacek writes less to inform, describe or explain than to impress. (And for me as one reader, she fails utterly.) Wikipedia articles are necessarily hard to follow when they're about, say, pure maths. When they're about art, they don't have to be. (See Wikipedia's "featured" articles about art and artists for examples of clarity.) Please summarize Hrbacek's prose for concision and clarity. Hoary (talk) 22:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
