Christo?
He's not really a painter - more of a sculptural/installation artist, no? BrentM 18:00, 21 November 2007 (EST)
Yes. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 23:47, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- Related follow-up: Then why is the "surrounded islands" shown on this page on painting? I'm no art student, but if this is an example of a painting (which I highly doubt), then it definitely needs an explanation. I will remove the image for the time being because it completely looks out of place in its current form. --JBrown 12:07, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
- He made a painting that day, it is enough to be an example. Before deleting see the reply or wait. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 12:40, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
- So we're keeping a non-painting as an example for painting because the artist had also made a painting that day? Please, either replace the image with the painting in question or delete it. Right now, that part of the entry flat out makes no sense. --JBrown 12:53, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
- Perhaps we could see if there was a copy of the painting which is in the public domain. That way we could put the two pictures side to side to provide a comparison between subject and result (although there are probably better examples out there). StatsMsn 06:17, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
I came here to say "why is such an obvious non-painting, by an artist who is not primarily known as a painter, included (and given such prominence) in an article about painting?" I see I'm not the first! Why is this even (apparently, reading between the lines of the above comments) contentious? Delete it. Humblpi 08:57, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
