Hello! This WikiProject aligns closely with the work of the GLAM-Wiki initiative (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), a global community of volunteers who assist cultural institutions with sharing resources with Wikimedia. GLAM-Wiki US is a new community initiative focused on organizing cultural collaborations within the United States. GLAM organizations are diverse and span numerous topics, from libraries and art museums to science centers and historic sites. We currently have a backlog of interested institutions- and we need your help!

Are you interested in helping with current or future GLAM projects? Join→ Online Volunteers

We hope you'll join the growing GLAM-Wiki community in the US. Thank you!

Page reference in Parshall & Schoch's Origins of European Printmaking for Bois Protat article?

Does anyone here have access to a copy of Parshall & Schoch's Origins of European Printmaking? I need the page number for a reference in the Bois Protat article---the only reference in the article lacking a cited page. I'm located in Japan, so just popping down to the library isn't an option, and the book isn't available online (or if it is, it's blocked in Japan---happens a lot). Thanks for any help.

Thanks. Is the cited info on all those pages? The preview you linked to is blocked in Japan. Curly Turkey (gobble) 14:22, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion in depth is on pp 21,22,23, further mention on 33-34, 72 and 123-124...Modernist (talk) 15:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I only needed the page that supports this sentence: "The Bois Protat remained in Protat's family, before it was entrusted to Bouchot." Curly Turkey (gobble) 22:48, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say p 22 from what I can see...Modernist (talk) 23:19, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability question

On the fence as to whether this photographer or his work meets notability guidelines. Plenty of COI involved. Further attention welcome, 76.248.144.216 (talk) 02:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say no, though the Disney one might provide some WP:RS - none given at present. Johnbod (talk) 02:26, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My take is that Impressionist mosaics is a non-notable term, and that the article was created by Roy Feinson or an associate, about whom the strongest assertion to notability I've found so far is a press release: [4]. Even if that's accepted as a source, it still constitutes a one-off mention. I'm less on the fence, but wonder if the mosaic article ought to simply redirect to Photographic mosaic. 76.248.144.216 (talk) 11:42, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right. Johnbod (talk) 11:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review Museum de Oude Wolden

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Editør (talk • contribs) 12:19, 25 August 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Anybody have a book?

Anybody have a copy of or have access to a book by Bernice Rose called "The Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein", published in 1987 by the Museum of Modern Art? Links for purpose of identifying the book:[6], [7].

The reason I ask is because I would like to validate a quote supposedly from that book. I encountered the quote at this web site. The quote is:

"Copying from another’s artist’s work had been out of style for a good part of the twentieth century; the avant-garde had increasingly set store by invention. In resorting to old-fashioned copying (and of such 'unartistic' models), Lichtenstein did something characteristic: he made it so obvious that he was copying that everyone knew it. In effect he threw down the gauntlet, challenging the notion of originality as it prevailed at that time."

Thanks for any help anyone can offer in this. Bus stop (talk) 14:20, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The best I can find, which appears to confirm the source and quote: [8]. Though without access to the entire page, I'm not so.... JNW (talk) 14:49, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a copy at my university library. I'm heading there this afternoon around 2ish (EST) and can look it up. I guess there was no page given? freshacconci talk to me 14:57, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Freshacconci—JNW's link above seems to indicate page 17. Thanks. Bus stop (talk) 15:02, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmation on page 17: [9] czar · · 15:55, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Czar. That is almost it in its entirety. Only part of the last sentence is missing. The missing part I am expecting will read "…threw down the gauntlet, challenging the notion of originality as it prevailed at that time." Perhaps Freshacconci can confirm that? I would appreciate it. Thanks everybody! Bus stop (talk) 17:00, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry it took me so long. I didn't get to it when I thought I could. Anyway, yes, that is the exact quote as it appears on page 17 of The Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein. If you need a PDF of the page, let me know. I can email it to you. freshacconci talk to me 15:54, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Freshacconci—yes, I would like a PDF of that page if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Thank you very much for taking the time to look into it. I would be interested in reading surrounding language on page 17 of that book. If you wouldn't mind e-mailing it to me, that would be great! Thanks a lot!

A suspected hoax

I'm way out of my depth in terms of art, but I suspect a hoax. I'm hoping somebody with some art history background would take a look at İl pepe e il peperoncino.

Thanks for giving this a look. SchreiberBike talk 04:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a hoax to me. I hope some more knowledgeable editors weigh in. Bus stop (talk) 04:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Implausible in all kinds of ways--and the external links erase any doubts about the editor's intentions. It's been tagged. Ewulp (talk) 06:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's nonsense. Well handled. JNW (talk) 09:21, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's a red link now. Thanks for the help. SchreiberBike talk 22:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Blake and invitation for participating

Hey All, just in case you have missed it I thought I would point to the new GLAM-Wiki activities related to the William Blake Archive at WP:Blake. We have expanded a few articles already (including William Blake's sketches of Visionary Heads), and would appreciate support, feedback or other participation! Check out the most recent update about the project or come help us work through our quite long list of "to do's" at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Poetry/William_Blake#To_do including articles about Blake's illustrations, his mythology and artistic collaborators like John Varley (painter)! Hope to see you around, Sadads (talk) 23:12, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oceanic art

I've been wondering, is "Oceanic art" (from Oceania) more prevalent than "oceanic art" (marine art)? -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 15:36, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, no question. I've never seen it used in the second sense. Johnbod (talk) 15:40, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Abstractionism currently is a philosophy stub, but I propose turning it into a redirect to abstract art. Please discuss at Talk:Abstractionism if there are objections. Huon (talk) 22:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
