This article started out as a copy paste of the copyvio link by an anonymous editor, and there was never a direct attribution to that source. Over time it has changed slightly, but the structure and the information contained is still almost identical, all the way down to the bibliography. I don't know if abcgallery's copyright information. --Ignignot 13:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

"Pioneer of abstract art"?
The lede states "Paul Sérusier...was a French painter who was a pioneer of abstract art..." Well, no. Although Sérusier certainly advanced the Modernist cause, he was in no way an abstact artist; everything he ever painted, drew or printed, was representational. Even his most experimental, reductivist works (such as "Le Talisman") is still firmly representational, depicting figures walking along a riverbank. So the sentence might state that Sérusier "...was a pioneer of Modernist art", but certainly not "abstract art". Bricology (talk) 17:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
