Initial comments

[edit]
WikiProjects
Images
  • Image captions: Massachusetts can be removed from "Tapestry, oil on canvas, Fitchburg Art Museum, Massachusetts" as the preceding image mentions the state.
  • Number of images in comparison to amount of prose - Seems disproportionate. I recognize that articles about artists should contain representative samples of their work, but I'm wondering if one or more of the images could be removed, for example, "Still Life with Parrot, oil on canvas", which is not mentioned within the article itself?

More later. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Second set

[edit]
Early life
  • "50 miles" - I suggest using the measurement template for those who understand other measurements better: 50 miles (80 km)
Style and paintings
  • Can the one-sentence paragraph be merged with another paragraph?
Museum
  • "twentieth century" - change to "20th century" as numerals for centuries have been used earlier in the article.
  • "The works of art—which includes" - change to "include"
Death
  • "She" - change to Norcross
Notes
  • "She was raised in two houses on Fitchburg's Main Street, one no longer stands and the other is on upper Main Street, across from Upper Common" - Either split this into 2 sentences, or use a semi-colon after Street.
  • "According to Edouard Villard may have influenced Norcross's interiors, according to Traute M. Marshall, author of Art Museums Plus." - I'm not quite sure what this is saying. Maybe the sentence should omit the first two words?
  • "The museum is also reported to have founded in 1925" - ... have been founded ...
References
  • 1 January 2005 - switch to January 1, 2005 to match style used throughout this section
