Non-notable artist. No real claims of notability, and I'm unable to find a single independent source, reliable or otherwise.

Keep - the article meets #2 on
Wikipedia:ARTIST, the notability guideline for artists/painters, and the article says that Bary created the trend of Inward Expressionism, making the article meet #2 on
Wikipedia:ARTIST.Delete - Roscelese's opinions on this AFD swayed my opinions. Also, I didn't look into what inward expressionism was when making my !vote, and Roscelese had a point about it.

No one does "Inward Expressionism" except Bary; it's his name for his own art style. By that logic, I am the notable founder of Roscelesism. –

Delete. Non-notable person - fails
WP:BIO and
WP:ARTIST - created by an account whose
sole purpose is to promote this guy. By the way, this AfD was malformed, so I accidentally created another one, which I will go and delete now + make the AfD tag at the article direct here. –

Delete: Multiple searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google) are turning up
no evidence to indicate that the subject meets any of the
notability criteria.

Delete There is not a single shred of independent evidence that this artist has ever had a major public exhibition, that his works are displayed in any museums, or have been the subject of discussion by notable art critics, or that anyone has taken any public notice of his work anywhere. As for the "art movement" he supposedly created, it seems that he has no known followers. For all I know, he may well be very talented, but he is not notable.
