Talk:Head VI

Comments from TonyTheTiger
I think you wanted my comments here:
 * WP:LEAD
 * " It is the first of Bacon's long series of "screaming popes",[4] of more than 45 individual works.[5][6]" seems ungrammatical. I would prefer " It is the first of Bacon's long series &mdash; more than 45 individual works &mdash;[5][6] of "screaming popes".[4]"--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * " The paradoxical appearance at once of pastiche and iconoclasm was indeed one of Bacon's most original strokes." -needs some links for me to understand it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * 1949 Head series
 * The second paragraph challenges WP:V with a host of distinct facts and one single citation at the end of the paragraph.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Description
 * Many facts in first paragraph also beg for WP:ICs in terms of WP:V.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * For Bacon comma.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Art historians generally agree that the work evokes memories of the Second World War and have drawn similarities between the glass case and the radio booths of late 1930 broadcasters who warned against impending calamity." I would expect no less than two citations following a statement like this.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Where does "1949 Chicago Study" come from all of a sudden.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sylvester suggests...-His thoughts require a citation.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Critical reception
 * Is that all there is in the way of critical commentary.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

horizontal?
I'm no expert on Bacon or modern art or the terminology used to discuss either, but every time this article describes something as "horizontal," it seems to me to be referring to something vertical - the tassel, but especially the lines forming the curtain-like background? Those are basically vertical, aren't they? I'm very confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.181.16.100 (talk) 15:07, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
