Article expansion thoughts

Here are a couple of ideas to explore for this biography - to discover what made him notable or interesting - or what made his works notable or interesting - if desired:

Is there information about his parents and childhood that you can find in WP:Reliable sources, such as books?
Where did he go to school?
Did he have a particular artist interest or aptitude?
Did he exhibit or win any awards?
What are some of his notable works? Where are they located?
Was he inspired by a particular artist?
Did he inspire others?
Was he interested in a particular artistic movement?
What was his legacy? What did people remember about him or his works that was notable?
How did his French background and schooling influence the artwork at the school? And/or, how was his work influenced by Vietnamese art?

Here are some specific ones based upon the content of the article so far:

He was a "teacher at the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (EBAI) in Hanoi 1926-1945." - What brought him to Vietnam and Hanoi to teach? What drew him to the area?
"His teaching was appreciated for being less academic than the director Victor Tardieu." - What does that mean? What did he provide to his students in terms of inspiration or skill that might have been different than Tardieu?
"He shared with Tardieu a keen interest in Vietnam's culture." - What were those interests?
"Inguimberty encouraged his students to experiment with lacquer as a fine art painting medium." What was the result of the experimentation? Was it that the students created fine laquered works? Or, was there a particular technique? Did the work represent something new in laquer works?

Fortunately, there seems to be a fair amount written about Joseph Inguimberty, so if you want to expand the article, you'll likely be able to find some interesting information.--CaroleHenson (talk) 11:44, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I added these questions - not as a "to do" list - but just as a way of kicking off some ideas about what could be added to the article - if you'd like to add any more content.--CaroleHenson (talk) 11:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
