It seems English usage of " visual arts" surpassed that of " plastic arts" at about 1950: [1]; the singular forms crossed 20 years later: [2]; see all plural/singular forms together: [3] (the plastic ones are much older; apparently none of the visuals existed prior to 1920, and in 1935 the plural form took off).

I've made an initial attempt to clean up the article on Poussin's Et in Arcadia ego; the previous version didn't seem to be able to decide whether it was about the painting or its title, and included a lot of WP:UNDUE conspiracy theories on the latter. I'm not an art expert, so input from members of this wikiproject would be appreciated. Is there a template for what sections should be included in an article on a painting?
I've changed the redirect The Arcadian Shepherds to point to the Poussin version, rather than the Guercino version at Et in Arcadia ego (Guercino). It's my understanding that this title is more commonly used for the Poussin version (just as the Poussin painting is at Et in Arcadia ego while Guercino gets the disambiguated title), but I may be wrong on that.-- Trystan ( talk) 01:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I wouldn't normally use a gallery as a source, but Illustration House ( see About) was founded by Walt Reed. I checked the Reliable sources noticeboard and didn't see anything one way or another - and it seemed better to ask the question here where folks would be more knowledgeable about good sources for visual art articles.
Could this be used as a source for a biography for Pruett Carter? Or, disallowed because it's a gallery or other reason? -- CaroleHenson (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Dear visual arts experts: This architectural design seems to be notable, since it has attracted a lot of written comment, but the page needs some attention from someone who knows more about this subject than I do. I have chopped out a lot of opinion, but since most of it is incomprehensible to me, I may have made things worse. Any help would be appreciated.— Anne Delong ( talk) 20:18, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear visual art experts: Here is an old AfC submission about an artist, but the content is mainly sourced to YouTube videos and press releases. There's a small stub in mainspace which is mainly an update, and has one source. If this is a notable artist, I will content-merge these two pages, but I don't want to do this if the result is going to be deleted. References seem to be in Latvian. Any opinions?— Anne Delong ( talk) 14:05, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Here is the link to this blog: http://archivesofkhazad-dum.blogspot.com.es/2011/06/about-archives-of-khazad-dum.html#links I don't know if this fits here. I thought that as this was well-intentioned and self-demonstrated it could be used as a reliable source for Trivia (?) information of some photos and paintings used in album covers. I just want to know if this could be accepted.-- Hienafant ( talk) 14:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, visual arts experts. Here's a draft article about an Egyptian artist. Is this a notable artist? In spite of having a number of references, the article seems to just say that she grew up, created some art, met a novelist who based a character in one of his books on her, and that her sister mounted two exhibitions after her death. — Anne Delong ( talk) 16:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I write to connect the French Sculpture Census with Wikipedia, as both projects share similar principles of free access to quality information.
Please find the linked press release that details the project on which I am working. In an effort to widen educational access to dependable art historical information, the French Sculpture Census is partnered with two American institutions (University of Texas at Dallas and the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas). It is partnered with four French institutions: Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Paris Musée d’Orsay, Paris Musée Rodin, Paris Ecole du Louvre, Paris
The project can be viewed here: http://frenchsculpture.org/ The press release for the project can be viewed here: https://www.utdallas.edu/arthistory/news/french-sculpture-census-press-release.html
I propose to insert external reference links on +500 Wikipedia pages on French sculpture. The goal is to provide Wikipedia readers the opportunity to dig deeper into a particular artist's artwork and provenance by clicking on the external link located on the Wikipedia page. Before undertaking this task, I seek approval from the wikipedia community. I would like to work with you to be sure that the external links are not taken down. I look forward to any suggestions that you may have.
Best,

Hi all. Just read this really interesting obituary on celebrated magazine editor, art director, and pioneer in graphic arts Frank Zachary (1914-2015). Thought someone from this project might enjoy creating an article on him. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 04:46, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Suvigya Sharma may be notable enough for the article, but the current draft desperately needs cleanup due to the tone and the unsourced content, and some additional references would likely also be necessary. Atulkumar.1990 asked me for help on the IRC help channel, but I'm too busy with other issues, too little of a subject-matter expert and not interested enough in the topic to work on that draft to the extent that's required. Atulkumar.1990 himself has a conflict of interest and finds it difficult to write neutrally about Sharma. Help would be appreciated. Huon ( talk) 16:58, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by WikiProject categories. Use "control-f" to jump to your area of interest (if such a copyvio is present).-- Lucas559 ( talk) 15:51, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
There was agreement at
Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_30#Category:Esther to allow new a sub-cat to be created for articles on paintings that are currently in
Category:Esther, and files in
Category:History of Purim. I proposed
Category:Paintings of Esther within
Category:Paintings with biblical themes. However,
Johnbod (
talk ·
contribs) argued for
Category:Esther in art, in the expectation that articles will be created on sculptures/drawings/prints etc of Esther.
This precaution looks unnecessary to me. Commons:Category:Esther has engravings, tapestries and reliefs as well as paintings, but none that look as if they will get their own article, so I don't see a strong likelihood of needing the wider category in English Wikipedia. If we create the "in art" category for the paintings, they can of course also be categorised in Category:Paintings with biblical themes, but an intersection category (Paintings of Esther) looks to me as if it would be neater and sufficient. However, I'll be happy to bow to the preference of this project. – Fayenatic L ondon 20:50, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
There is a dispute on relatively minor style and comprehensiveness issues here that has been dragging on absurdly. The remaining issues are seen in the diff here. Comments welcome at Talk:Counter-Maniera#Getting_nowhere. Several sections above refer, but perhaps just a view on the diff I've given is all that is needed. Some issues have been resolved.

Yes, Kim Jong-un. We need a new lead image. Who here draws or paints well?
The current image in Kim Jong-un is used at many other language Wikipedias. So are other images we have at commons.
We could use a really great, new piece that could never be seen as a derivative of a photo. If it is good, it would certainly become the new, lead image across the whole project because none of the images we have now are that great.
Who here can tolerate staring at Kim Jong-un's face while breathing paint fumes for an hour? Who can rise to the challenge!?!?!? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 00:24, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

--- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Can I make a request for collaborators on this article? I'm the major contributor, having made over 200 edits, but I'd like some help. It's an important topic in the history of art, and the article gets 400-600 views a day, but it's far from complete. The topic is large, covering the most influential movement in decorative arts in Europe and north America between 1880 and 1910, with significant precursors in the previous three decades and resonances down to the present. I peck at it occasionally but I have a busy life outside Wikipedia and can't devote as much time to it as it deserves. Thanks. Pelarmian ( talk) 10:53, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Lot's of Wikipedians go on vacation in August and find themselves behind a keyboard without their usual tools ready. If you are looking for something useful to do that doesn't require a lot of cross-referencing, try adding an existing image file from Commons to a Wikidata item for museum collections. For example, this list of paintings in the Philadelphia Museum of Art could use some illustrations from Commons. If you are interested in paintings, maybe you would like to join the w:Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings. If you hate Wikidata, maybe you would be interested in just contributing images to Commons from museum websites, or even setting up a Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Sum of all paintings page that just lists museums and their collection trees (paintings by period or movement). Wikidatans will find and appreciate your work in either place, I assure you. Jane ( talk) 09:04, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
I've just seen that Paul has died. He was a professional art historian, specializing in the Pre-Raphaelites; among other things he published a book on John Everett Millais (Barlow, Paul Time Present and Time Past: The Art of John Everett Millais, Ashgate 2005). Most of his WP work was not on art, but he maintained the key Pre-Raphaelite articles, and contributed to many others. He will be sorely missed. Messages can be added to his talk page (better than here). He must have been relatively young too - BA 1983. Johnbod ( talk) 00:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
FYI, there is a notice at WT:USA about some recent changes to redirects and new articles to American art articles -- 67.70.32.190 ( talk) 04:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
(copied from US proj) There is someone removing redirects and pointing all the articles about Art in the United states to a bunch of circular lists that they have created.
The major articles Visual art of the United States, Music of the United States, Cuisine of the United States are being unlinked and added to the bottoms of these pages as misc "See also" articles.
Dunno if anyone cares, just pointing it out.-- Savonneux ( talk) 12:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
China: Through the Looking Glass is a new article on an exhibition that is notable, but it is suffering from synthesis issues in the Orientalism section (which is a problem, because that's the crux of the whole installation). Particularly, there is mention of Edward Said's book and some material cited from it that is not actually referenced in any of the sources - Said is generally, but only in one source, and his book is not. Can someone take a look at it? I can't because I'm an involved editor on another of the article creator's articles. MSJapan ( talk) 05:09, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I stumbled across the work of a member of the French art nouveau group Les Cinq and wrote a wiki entry for him (it's in the AFC process now) but I noticed that Les Cinq, the art group rather than the music group, didn't have a wiki article either. Writing it isn't the problem so much as the group went from being Les Cinq to Les Six to becoming the L'Art pour tous movement. What would be the best way to structure an article about the group? Any advice gratefully received. Red Fiona ( talk) 18:22, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I am looking for some veteran advice on when a company that manufactures art supplies is worthy of an article on Wikipedia. Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, and Golden Artist Colors all meet some criteria. There are lesser companies that have slipped by and I won't mention them here for fear of removal. But I do want to read about the different brands (how old they are, where they are located, what their philosophy is).
Could we create a page like "Art supplies companies" that might go into more detail about companies that can't have their own article? Bod ( talk) 18:12, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

The talk was about creating External links from Wikipedia artists pages to French Sculpture Census website. Johnbod and Jane agreed upon the fact these links would be useful.
I started creating them in Wikipedia English and another user will create them in Wikipédia French. After the third link created, I had a message from Wikipedia: "You are creating many links at a high rythm. This could be deemed as spamming and you might be blocked."
Can I go on creating links (I have app. 300 links to create and probably a bit more in Wikipédia French) without risking seeing them removed?
Thank you for your advice.

Is this artist notable under the applicable guidelines: Wayne Cooper (artist)? Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 15:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
I am new here and I am looking to participate in the visual arts project. I have a few questions. First off, at what institutes permanent collections make someone notable? I know MoMA is one. Are there any other museums? Is there a list somewhere?
Second, what kind of fellowships make people notable? I known that Guggenheim recipients are notable. What about Pollock Krasner Grants? Again, is there a list for this? Susana Hodge ( talk) 06:16, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
I began a series of categories describing where a painting or collection of paintings is located. Wikipedia has categories for what style or nationality the painter derives from but not one for where the painting is physically located. there are categories localizing collections and museums to geographic locales, but there are paintings that exist outside of museums in publicly available sites (churches and administrative buildings).
My endeavor in Italy is somewhat confused at present in that there is a category of Italian paintings in addition to Paintings in Italy. The topics are different, the former refers to the nationality of the creator, but to geographically localized both creates two large category trees. I now vote that I should not have tried to geographically localize "Italian paintings" but stick only to geographic locale of any painting, regardless of the nationality of the painter. At some point I would delete my beginning attempts to geographically localize Italian paintings, again and focus only on where is a painting localized, regardless of style, or nationality of artist.

I was exploring making "paintings in a place" a subcategory of "Arts in the same place". would that address one of your points. Rococo1700 ( talk) 16:45, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Sculptures are part of category. As such, they then fall within spectrum of buildings and structures at a locale. Should canvases and/or frescoes/murals be considered the same? Rococo1700 ( talk) 19:05, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
In general, I agree, maybe the paintings, but also monuments and memorials, should be categorized under "arts in a certain location. Only the latter shares categorization under buildings and structures. Rococo1700 ( talk) 16:08, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello, visual arts Wikipedians. I spotted this article while patrolling new pages. It seems to pass the WP:CCS test, and looks like it may have WP:NOTABILITY, with a good number of sources already cited (quality of sources not verified by me).

I think these two articles are about the same person, as both articles mention that there is a triptych by Simone da Bologna in the Blanton Art Museum in Austin, Texas. But before starting an AfD, I thought I'd ask here, just in case.

I have added in a new missing countries from the Lists of painters by nationality list, but I'm a bit concerned about the number of pages there that do not yet exist. Australia and New Zealand are both non-existent, for example. It would be great if we could work together to create some new list pages so that this information can be better organized and more international. Thanks :) Clawsyclaw ( talk) 02:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

This looks to be a pretty valid subject, but it could be more encyclopedic, and I'm not sure how valid a good chunk of the references are, though this term does appear in various books and news articles so seems legit. Anyone able to drop in and help advise the original editor on getting this AFC draft ready for publication? MatthewVanitas ( talk) 00:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

If anyone has time to spare, I could use a little help with this article, which I hope to promote to Good status. I think the sculpture was completed between 1959 and 1968, but source sources give 1977 as the date. Some sources say the sculpture was first installed in 1968, others say it has been on the Transit Mall since 1977. I am confused as to which dates I should use for the sculpture's completion and installation. If someone has the time, interest, and patience to review this article and poke around some of the sources, I'd appreciate another pair of eyes. It is not a long article, and there are not too many sources to scan. The article should be close to meeting GA criteria once this issue is resolved. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:04, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm happy to inform you that now we have thousands of new photos of art in Italy, also contemporary art, thanks to the donation of the Paolo Monti digitalized archive by the BEIC Foundation (who acquired the full archive in 2008 and has the full rights). Paolo Monti was a famous photographer from Milan and shoot the photos with permission by artists and galleries, for catalogues and magazines. All those beautiful images now need only to be used in Wikipedia articles (examples in Marino Marini (sculptor), Lucio Fontana, and it:Gianni Dova). Do you like to help us? See the category on Commons of artworks, Artists' studios, Portraits of artists and a selected gallery. Thank you! -- Marco Chemello (BEIC) ( talk) 09:51, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
The Europeana Art Challenge has kicked off and runs until 30th May.
The aim is to make sure that there are Wikidata entries and Wikipedia articles for each of the 300 artworks chosen from across Europe.
Details of the competition and how to sign up are here.
As of writing only 58 out of 300 artworks have an article in English (some examples below for ideas).
There's a points based system and prizes for the most points for each country.
Richard Nevell (WMUK) ( talk) 16:17, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
The best way to see how far the progress is going on the English Wikipedia specifically is at
this table.
You can sort by the 'country' column to see how the 10 artworks that were selected by each country appear on en.wp. Some countries' selections are already have a bunch of articles, but none have all 10 (although several are close)! Of all the 40 languages being tracked as part of the project, English has unsurprisingly the largest number - having grown from 50 before the competition started to 130 now. There is also already a full compliment of Wikidata labels English which is great. Anyone who is interested in being involved in the challenge - and potentially winning some of the prizes on offer - is very welcome! Full details at the project page

(Apologies if this post is not in the best place.) I have tagged Pierre Dupont (painter) as a likely WP:HOAX, and made observations at Talk:Pierre Dupont (painter). I haven't initiated the WP:AFD procedure, because (a) I've never yet used it, and (b) I suppose I just might be wrong (though the original new-page reviewer agrees with my assessment). If I'm correct: this well-constructed joke has gone on long enough (I only found it because it had unluckily collected a {{disambiguation needed}} tag), so could someone activate the AfD routine please? Narky Blert ( talk) 21:31, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
I've flagged this article as a possible WP:HOAX, and posted my observations on the relevant talk page. If I'm wrong, feel free to slap me down; but until you do, I'm calling BS on it. (Even if it's genuine, which I doubt, I would invoke WP:GNG against the article.) Narky Blert ( talk) 01:25, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello visual arts experts. Here is a draft about an art gallery owner. There are many references, but I am not familiar with the media in this area and can't tell if they are appropriately independent and relevant. Any opinions? Should the draft be moved to mainspace?— Anne Delong ( talk) 08:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I setup a new page that has a sister component on Wikidata for the people working on it from that end. We are trying to get a way of systematically defining artist occupations to improve existing biographies, and also defining artworks. Theoretically, this addresses the hatmaker/hat problem, and while I am at, I am calling out the hatmaking aspect as a potential link between the two. Wikidata page is here: d:Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Item_structure#Types_of_visual_artworks. Jane ( talk) 20:58, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Hallo, I've been asked for advice on an article title but it's not an area I know anything about so I thought I'd ask the members of this project. Please have a look at , previously Altarpiece of Veit Stoss, earlier Ołtarz Wita Stwosza. I tried Googling but by the time I'd found the church it's in referred to as "Church of the Virgin Mary in Krakow", "Krakow's basilica of the Virgin Mary", "The basilica of the Virgin Mary's (or Kosciol Mariacki) at Krakow’s central Grand Square", and "St. Mary's church in Krakow", all on one webpage, I gave up. There are only three individual altarpieces in Category:Altarpieces, which seems to suggest it's possibly not the right category or terminology - or that other altarpieces are wrongly categorised. Over to you. Pam D 17:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
It seems to me it would probably be best to end the confusion by merging these articles, with some pointers to which terms are most commonly used in different traditions. Unfortunately this is a field in which I have no specialised knowledge at all. Imaginatorium ( talk) 18:07, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Newly created article via AfC. I've tried to do a bit of clean up, but mainly formatting stuff. I believe more needs to be done since the tone is a bit promotional sounding and the sourcing is a bit sketchy. Would someone from WPVA mind taking a closer look and assessing the article? Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I find this latest edit by Trutheditor100, an wp:SPA to Looted art ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to be removing more critical information then needed. Whitewashing, perhaps? Also, the cites seem to be of marginal reliability. I have little familiarity on the topic. More eyes on this might be a good idea. I will not be watching this page. Thanks Jim1138 ( talk) 03:32, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Truth Editor's response: Jim, thanks for that. If you make a hard study of the case cited (not many people have done so) you will see that it was the Thai dealer who purchased and sold the piece. As is also mentioned , he has clear evidence to back this up. The previous version of the article led on from the Sothebys case (wrongly interpreted - which is apparent if you simply read it...) to accuse him of being THE PERSON responsible for looting of South East Asian art. This is highly simplistic and is like taking 2 and 2 and reach 20. "Whitewashing" you say? Well what was the previous article? Who is Jason Felch to make those claims? I'm sure if you were to take the time to read all the citations presented (you cannot have done in the time since posting) you will understand that the situation is far more complex that the manner in which it was presented previously. What else is Wikipedia for if not for finding the truth? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trutheditor100 ( talk • contribs) 11:51, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.
If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ Rob Talk 01:28, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

This proposal at the Village Pump asks whether galleries by default should be displayed in "packed" mode. Bus stop ( talk) 17:10, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
I have tried to fix this SPA-created article (from a mostly technical point of view as layman), but it still contains a lot of arts magazine jargon and redundant details from the artist's own point of view. I am also not convinced, that all of the sources are perfectly unbiased (but that may be a minor problem, if the article's tone would be more encyclopedic). It would be great, if someone else more knowledgeable in modern painting could have a second look over the article. GermanJoe ( talk) 07:20, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Somewhere, I came across
Draft:Mir Abdolrez Daryabeigi, about a modern Iranian painter (abstract landscapes), and tried to help its creator
Mirrezd get into acceptable shape. I know nothing about modern painting, but it seems to me that the subject is notable. However I have found the task harder than I anticipated, because I have no familiarity with what might be acceptable sources, and cannot read Farsi. So I am hoping that someone here can have a look at it.

I did not submit any document in Farsi language. As for French source I will notify artfinding.com which is French website that Wikipedia think the Grand Palais is not a reliable source. If you insist on having a easy access source.

All the prizes that Mr. Daryabeigi won were issued by
Grand PalaisIt is very popular in art world.
Mr. Daryabeigi not only had many exhibitions in Grand Palais he also won two prizes in 1982 and 1989. respectively. The prize was to buy the participant painting. Mr. Daryabiegi's paintings are part of Grand Palais collection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrezd ( talk • contribs) 03:02, 11 July 2016 (UTC) Mirrezd ( talk) 03:04, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Normally I would not ask for priority or rushed assistance for an edit request, but I received three talk page notifications informing me that the three images I've proposed adding to Harry Jackson (artist) will be deleted in a few days if they are not added to the article before then. Is there a project member who is willing to respond to the edit request I posted at Talk:Harry Jackson (artist) before these images are deleted? Thank you for your consideration.
