Quotations seem garbled

[edit]

We're told:

In 1972, Roy Gibson described the foundations of Kamoinge as deriving from “a common need to form black esthetic.”<ref name=":3" /> In 1996, [[Peter Galassi|Peter Gelassi]] said “The Harlem neighborhood was both its [Kamoinge’s] essential subject and intended principle audience,”<ref name=":3" /> despite few Kamoinge photographers living in or photographing Harlem exclusively.<ref name=":3" /> Beuford Smith, in a 2001 interview, reflected on the misconceptions of black aesthetic, noting, “I think black aesthetic is different for everyone… I think it is based on how you live as a black person."<ref name=":3" />
  • "form black esthetic", not for example "form a black esthetic"?
  • Why "Gelassi"? (The article about him says nothing about any change of name.)
  • "principle", really? Not "principal"?
  • "misconceptions of black aesthetic", "black aesthetic is different"? No determiner -- not "a/the black aesthetic"? (And "aesthetic" with an "a", in the same book -- from the US publisher Rutgers University Press -- that elsewhere is said to talk about "esthetic", sans "a"?)

Somebody with access to this book should check. -- Hoary (talk) 00:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
