Talk:List of Federal Art Project artists

[Untitled]

My grandfather, Ray Conner, is an unrecognized landscape artist who benefitted from the WPA art project in Glendale, CA. He was hired by the local high school principle to teach art to adults during the depression (1930). One of his students was Norman Yeckley, who is now famous for painting Arizona Landscapes.

I have removed

• Diego Rivera from the list pending a reference. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:33, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I just pulled *David Siqueiros too. Please feel free to prove me wrong. Carptrash (talk) 17:52, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

According to this citation, David Alfaro Siqueiros was a W.P.A. muralist, and Juanita Guccione worked as his assistant on a mural at the 23rd Street Post Office in New York City.

References

Red linked names

bother me in a list such as this. I suggest either add at least dates or something of note after a name or risk having it removed. This is not (opinion) a reservoir for future article. EInar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect Name

The name of Ben Braun on the list links to basketball coack Ben Braun. I don't think it's the right guy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.137.134.50 (talk) 13:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

IS it here

our intention to include artists of the Public Works of Art Project and Section of Painting and Sculpture programs, who were not, strictly speaking (another term for "in my opinion) WPA artists ? Carptrash (talk) 17:44, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Galleries

IMO the imagery should be in galleries...Modernist (talk) 15:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

These display so strangely on mobile devices that I agree — I'll leave the employment and activities poster where it is, and add a gallery at the end. — WFinch (talk) 17:19, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Valid Sources

Does anyone have an opinion about whether a University's art gallery's website would be a good enough source for adding the names of the artists to this list? smIsle (talk) 01:38, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

added name of artist Carson Davenport

Hi- I am new at adding/editing Wikipedia. I want to make sure I did not do something wrong and need some help with adding the hyperlink to my citation. Moving forward I may also add an article regarding new artist. Can someone assist me or point me in the right direction? Thanks! Teabowdoe (talk) 21:54, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi — and thanks for contributing that artist to the list. The "url" field, the first field in the template "Template:Cite web", hadn't been completed, and that was the problem in linking your citation to the Danville Museum's website. I've added that and the entry is on the list, now. Since Davenport also created work under the Public Works of Art Project and the Section of Painting and Sculpture, having an article about him someday would be an asset to Wikipedia. — WFinch (talk) 13:56, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

George A. Picken

I have yet to find a source to corroborate that George A. Picken was employed by the work-relief Federal Art Project, so I will trim his name again until a citation can be provided. I've seen sources for Picken being commissioned to complete post office murals for the Section of Fine Arts (Fort Edward, New York and Chardon, Ohio), and for the Treasury Relief Art Project (Hudson Falls, NY), but nothing yet for the WPA. As stated in the lede, "Artists who worked only for comparable but distinctly separate New Deal art projects administered by the United States Department of the Treasury are not listed." — WFinch (talk)

Yes, you are right, sorry about that. Einar akaCarptrash (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in List of Federal Art Project artists

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of Federal Art Project artists's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "National Gallery of Art":

• From Rudolph Weisenborn: "Rudolph Weisenborn". National Gallery of Art. Retrieved 22 July 2022.
• From Rosa Rush: "Rosalie Rush". National Gallery of Art. Retrieved 30 September 2022.
• From Claire Mahl Moore: "Claire Mahl Moore". National Gallery of Art. Retrieved 18 November 2022.
• From Harold Lehman: "Harold Lehman". National Gallery of Art. Retrieved 21 November 2022.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:45, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
