Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century
[edit]- ... that in Andy Warhol's Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century, the "faces of the dead appear as if behind a veneer of modernity" according to the National Portrait Gallery? Source: "The disjunction between sitter and surface is a visual device that unites the portraits, but the series has a conceptual unity also. Warhol's insistence that the subjects be deceased invests the series with an inescapable character of mortality. The faces of the dead appear as if behind a veneer of modernity."

- Interesting art, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I see coming that someone will complain that the hook says something in Wikipedia voice as fact which is the writing of just one critic. Can you insert that in a hook? Or say something else, such mention some of the subjects, - I always like links to Kafka ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I love Kafka too! So much of the commentary on this series is overly negitive so I tried to choose a neutral quote. I've put the author (albiet anon) into the hook. No Swan So Fine (talk) 10:44, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you, problem now is grammar, because I read "the National Portrait Gallery in Andy Warhol's ...". Please try to get the bold link to the front, and the NPG later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- Done. No Swan So Fine (talk) 07:42, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- Fine! Next time, please write alternatives, instead of changing the original, but I'm not in the mood for formalities ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
