Talk:Antoni Tàpies

Viu

Estéfano Viu is probably a non-existant artist, added on many Wiki projects as a scam. Currently with articles pending for elimination on Polish and Italian Wikipedias.

To my opinion this article is a way of hidden promotion by the The Catalan-Valencian cultural domain. If they really would appreciate their arists, the article about Tàpies would be much more informative. And their template not that big, not bigger than the whole article.

Infobox

I am substituting the standard artist infobox in place of the Catalan-Valencian cultural domain box. The latter overwhelms the article and contains information most of which has little or no relevance here, such as Furs of Valencia, Government and Paella. Moereover, the Catalan cultural and historical information is adequately provided through the WikiProject Catalan-speaking Countries banner and the Catalan Portal link on this talk page.

Movement

I've just removed from the second line the classification of Tàpies as pertaining to the "abstract expressionism movement". I find that to be a strange categorization. I think it would be more appropriate to call him an informalist. I didn't feel confident enough to replace "abstract expressionism" with "informalism" but I was sure that "abstract expressionism" alone was misleading. These categories are artificial and loosely defined, but I'm sure that people better versed in art history could come up with the write categorization. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganacka (talk • contribs) 05:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Peer Review

I think that this article is shaping up quite nicely, and is an interesting read! I see that you have made significant contributions to the "Life" section, which is great. To improve the article even more, I think that perhaps changing the "Exhibitions" and "Recognition" sections into bulleted lists would make it easier to read. If possible, the "Legacy" section could be built up to further explain what the Tàpies Foundation is and how it currently runs. This would be interesting to know! My last comment is, in the realm of "Graphic Work" and "Essays," the latter in particular, I would be interested to know what Tàpies was writing about. Including a few main themes from his essays would help the reader to get a better sense of what his papers were about, and perhaps even encourage readership. Great job so far, and I am excited to see how the article continues to shape up! Abbeykobrien (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:15, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

The article is looking good! I agree with Abbeykobrien on a lot of her suggestions, especially in terms of using bullet points to clean up the "Exhibitions" and "Recognition" Sections. I would like to add that maybe a little more elaboration in the "Graphic Works" section would be helpful for readers. I'm not very well informed in terms of what exactly "Graphic Works" would entail, and this may make my suggestion irrelevant, but maybe a slightly longer, though still succinct, explanation would be useful for the article. In addition, I'd like to see a little more about his life before his professional career in the "Life" section if possible. A good part of it seems to be about his professional career, so maybe include things that are outside that realm, if that information exists and is readily available. Overall, I really enjoyed the read and it's looking good! Erick.bittenbender (talk) 06:52, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
