Talk:Isabelle Collin Dufresne/Archives/2013

Ultra Violet or birth name?
I worked on this page & updated the info, but don't know whether it should be continued under "Isabelle Collin Dufresne" or under "Ultra Violet". IMDB uses "Ultra Violet", and the Wikipedia article on "Viva" has it under her stage name as well. Perhaps move to Ultra Violet? Obviously, there would need to be disambiguation.

Well, when ever you talk to her, no one ever calls her Isabelle. They call her Ultra or Ultra Violet. She rarely uses her given name except in very private business issues. I do think the Ultra Violet with her name in paranthesis works, though.24.187.77.211 20:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Return to Catholicism?!
She still is against the Roman Catholicism vehemently. She is a Mormon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.213.163 (talk) 05:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Religion?
I can find no mention of her current religious beliefs anywhere. Until a reliable source can be found, the section titles "later life" should be removed. Provide the evidence and this information can be put back in. Blue Dinosaur Jr (talk) 16:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Catholic thing is definitely true. In her book Famous for 15 Minutes she described some new art movement she was trying to start called "Ultralismo" which, from what I remember from the book, essentially entailed painting angels into works.  Here's something from Artnet:
 * Though Ultra was somewhat older than the rest of the Warhol groupies, and in better physical and mental shape, her depraved life style was to take its toll. She disappears from the scene and writes her memoirs. After that, she flounders some more, and discovers God. Living back in France, in Nice on the Cote d’Azur, she takes care of an aging father until his last day and realizes her true calling as an artist. Like a born-again Christian, she turns her head toward Heaven and finds God’s presence in the beautiful skies above the Mediterranean.


 * Skies with gentle clouds are all over her Chelsea studio these days -- on walls, on furniture, on mirrors, on handmade books and on large canvases. Sometimes an "angel" is there too, pictured on the back of a flying missile, drawn on a baroque mirror, depicted as a winged Mickey Mouse or, in one case, as a winged bride. That Dalíesque, life-size angel seemingly ready to fly out of the window is a mannequin dressed in a second-hand wedding gown and long train, its large white wings daubed in blue paint.

I don't know if the Mormon thing is true - but if you Google Mormon and Ultra Violet you find some card she designed for a Mormon artist group. I dunno. -- David  Shankbone  16:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I've added several "fact" tags in order to point out that this article doesn't site many sources.Blue Dinosaur Jr (talk) 07:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Good day. I assist Ultra Violet from time to time.

This should pretty much end discussion. Further, if we can cite the artist herself, she will tell you that she is happily a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and was horrified that the initial author of this article erroneously listed her as Catholic. --Happypeepeehead (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Music
I think she released at least one pop album in the 1970's. 83.248.190.222 (talk) 13:57, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
