The Colossus of Rhodes (Dalí)
[edit]
Salvador Dalí
- ... that The Colossus of Rhodes, a painting by Salvador Dalí
(pictured), is heavily influenced by an article by the sculptor Herbert Maryon? Source: de Callataÿ 2006, p. 54: in 1954 "Salvador Dalí painted his version of the Colossus ..., a version which, all things considered, does not look extremely original. Not only the pose, but also the hammered plates of Maryon's theory find here a clear and very powerful expression."

- COMMENT: Why an image of Dali when the article is not about him? Works fine without the image. (Guessing that there is no image of the painting in Commons.) David notMD (talk) 15:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- David notMD, the painting is still under copyright (and not licensed), so cannot be used on the main page. Since it's by Dalí, however, I figured a photograph of him would be the next best thing. Ultimately the promoter can choose whether to use it or not. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:11, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The image cannot be included with the hook because it does not appear in the article. QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
