Talk:Gus Nall

Untitled
Thank you so much for these excellent suggestions, Onel5969! I just made several updates to the page and References to demonstrate the notability of Gus Nall. One thing that makes Nall notable is that he is cited by Clarence Major as an important influence on the latter's art. Here is a quote from Major's Wikipedia page: "Major studied drawing and painting under the direction of painter Gus Nall (1919–1995) from 1952 to 1954."

Another thing that makes Nall notable is that his painting "Lincoln Speaks to Freedmen on the Steps of the Capital at Richmond" (1963), which was commissioned by the state of Illinois for the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The painting is exhibited in the DuSable Museum of African American History.

Finally, I improved the References with reliable sources.
