Norman Bluhm
The image tag in the infobox is for the image of the artist. See Template:Infobox Artist for parameter usage. Also see Salvador Dali as a style example. Thanks. AlexGWU (talk) 03:01, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually the precedent that we have followed is both - an image of the artist when it is available and usable, and/or a work of art. Some artists pages have images of the artist in text - see Henry Moore, and a sculpture in the infobox; while others have just works of art by choice in the infobox. The Bluhm painting is acceptable in the infobox..Modernist (talk) 03:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I've created a thread here: hopefully with others input...Modernist (talk) 03:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * See WikiProject Visual arts/Art Manual of Style: "It will often be better to place a work by the artist at the top of the article; this is especially the case for imaginary portraits of early artists, or photographs of more recent ones." Since neither are up at the moment, I can't judge, but a picture is often the better option, and Modernist's judgement is likely to be reliable. Johnbod (talk) 03:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, we don't even have an image of the artist! You are joking surely, AlexGWU??? Johnbod (talk) 03:40, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
