The hook (136 characters) is short enough, appears in the article, and is cited. The problem is, those two citations are both art galleries, so I'm not sure they can be considered reliable. The article is new enough and long enough, but contains at least two sentences lifted from one of those art gallery websites (http://daviddike.com/artists/182-ashe-edmund.html) and there's a lot of close paraphrasing, which violates policy.
