Signature variation[edit]

Does anyone know why he often signed his works as "powers laz/org"? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.205.82.82 (talk) 12:11, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strange situation or unclear writing?[edit]

The article contains a sentence that includes a clause requiring some clarification. "...in later life his uncle's wife would try to prevent him from making any art" - this seems to say that when Powers was in his 70s his aunt tried to prevent him from making any art. Somehow I think this sentence just needs to be rewritten... I can't see him being bullied in old age by some nonagenarian woman. Pascalulu88 (talk) 23:04, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
