Plastic arts

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The phrase "plastic arts" (used in the lead) is something of an archaic term, although I gather it is still used in some contexts. The main reason this term is rarely used nowadays is that "plastic" now typically refers to synthetic plastic, thus making the term "plastic arts" confusing. Would it be possible to use a different phrase here, or list the specific art mediums to avoid the confusion? Maybe we could just say "the various arts". Thoughts?

Since plastic arts are a subset of visual arts, I changed it to just say "visual arts". This should make it less redundant and less confusing. Kaldari (talk) 09:32, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I propose that Visual arts of Mexico be merged into this article, as they both cover the same scope, but this article is more comprehensive (and older). Kaldari (talk) 07:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. They do overlap and it is better to have one comprehensive article. Amuseclio (talk) 22 November 2015

Agreed. The other is (although it doesn't say so) a translation of the Spanish article & much inferior. Not that much may need keeping. Johnbod (talk) 12:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Agreed and

Pyramids are lacking, but if they do appear ... ; "artists have an international perspective concerned with a globalized world"

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Encyclopedic or essayistic?

"The influences of the muralist period persist. Much of the art produced since the 1990s has been overlooked because it is not obviously "Mexican" (by the standards of Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros) and lacks references to stereotypical cultural references such as pyramids and indigenous people. Most modern Mexican artists have an international perspective concerned with a globalized world. For example, if pyramids appear, they are often mixed with images from other cultures such as geishas, yogis, and Chinese characters, which come from a recent^[timeframe?] fascination with Asia. Artists who have produced mostly Asian-themed works include Fernanda Brunet, Yushai Jusidman, and Pablo Vargas Lugo. Japanese comics and cartoons are a significant part of this fascination, which can include Hello Kitty and My Melody."

I combined the two sections about Frida Kahlo, but it may require further refinement if someone wants to take a look. Kaldari (talk) 04:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Burial in Yalalag.jpg

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

File:Burial in Yalalag.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
