Talk:Arman

Copyvio

Section removed:

Born Armand Pierre in Nice, France, Arman is best known for his artwork, although his life featured many other facets. He was, at times, a Judo master, a spear fisherman, and a collector of antiquities. Though he was a dreamer, he worked tirelessly on his creations; the myriad works which would define his place in the world. His artistic style featured an array of techniques, from the famed accumulations to drawings, paintings, sculpture, casting and even to installations and happenings. Influenced by Dada and later an influence upon much of Pop Art, Arman's works stand out through their aesthetics; Arman was the master of composition and this provides even his most absurdist works with beautifully realized compositions. Whether paint on canvas or garbage in Plexiglas, Arman saw the beauty and relevance of he everyday world and created art to reflect his own imaginative ideas on the world.

NPOV

This article is kind of an atrocity, NPOV-wise. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the subject to do a good job of fixing it, but I tried to remove or tone down the worst parts.--SethTisue 03:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Other Changes

Removed some non-encyclopedic "poetic" language from a few of the paragraphs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Faithdabrooke (talk • contribs) 04:13:04, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

Photo

Arman and his wife Corice (1983) by Erling Mandelmann

Thanks to generous contribution of portraits by Erling Mandelmann, we were able to illustrated many biographies in Wikipedia with photos. Among others, this includes a portrait of Arman.

As the image has a higher resolution than the current one in the infobox, I would move the one currently in the infobox further down and add the one by Mandelmann instead.

Disclosure: I have no link to Arman or Mandelmann other than editing this article of the former and working with batch uploads of the later at Commons. -- -- 签名 _sig at 13:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Exhibitions

The section “Selected exhibitions and awards” has an old (2011) tag suggesting that, because of its “dates and numbers”, it might be better presented as a sortable table. I agree that the sortable table is a very handy feature, but I don't believe this section is the place to use it. There are no “dates and numbers” — the dates are the only numbers, and they are already presented in sorted order, making the sort feature not useful. I'm going to drop that old tag.  Unician ∇  02:20, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Arman/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The section removed from the Arman entry should definitely stay removed. Arman is known to the world specifically as an artist, represented in major collections around the world. His interest in judo is interesting (and led to his meeting with his close mate Yves Klein, both aged 18 - Klein being a major figure in art of the second half of the 20thC, whose significance and continuing influence has still to be properly logged.) Arman's enthusiasm for many other things is praiseworthy. But a biographical entry is only justified because of his practice as an artist, and his associations with others in the field, especially through the French Nouveau Realisme group.
