Talk:Robert Beauchamp

Who was the girl? Midgley (talk) 11:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Great question. From the oral history which served as the source for the DYK:

ROBERT BEAUCHAMP: I decided, I got very conservative, I wanted to make money. I wanted to go to Cranbrook, take up pottery, and get my degree, because I was in love with a girl.

PAUL CUMMINGS: Pottery?

ROBERT BEAUCHAMP: I'm not going to tell you the girl's name. It's not important. It didn't turn out right, but that was the idea behind it, to get a degree.

Category

This artist is one of four in the category "abstract figurative". The article defining this category was deleted since it consisted of two sentences that were self-contradictory: figurative in art means realistic, so work of art cannot be both realistic and abstract. A work many be abstract but have reference to reality, such as cubism, or it can be pure, or non-objective abstraction.FigureArtist (talk) 07:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
