Talk:Roger Duvoisin

Hans Christian Anderson Biennial
The "Hans Christian Anderson Biennial runner-up award" --which I have slightly reworded but not deciphered-- may be a nomination for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in the illustration category.

About 30 writers and 30 illustrators were nominated at their national levels during the last cycle. Is there an official historical list of nominees? --P64 (talk) 23:47, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustrators. Duvoisin was U.S. nominee and one of three highly commended runners-up in 1968. The official list of nominees and commended runners-up (early) or finalists (late) is now a source for our award article and cited here too. --P64 (talk) 19:33, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Life
The biographical information is meager and shaky. One of the Ext links may be a source.

The historical note in "Guide to the Roger Duvoisin and Louise Fatio Papers 1934–1968" [ref name=NWDA] is not generally the source that previous editors have used. Indeed, it conflicts on two points at least, placing Duvoisin's study in Paris at École des Beaux-Arts (fine arts, seems unlikely) and giving him a job in pottery afterward.

 * LCCN explains the 1900 birthdate adequately. The article needs to be revised and VIAF error report filed so that http://viaf.org/viaf/88062646/ is merged with the one that we have linked since November 2012, namely . --P64 (talk) 20:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I have contributed some info to the Life section. Also responding to the Cleanup listing for WikiProject Children's literature, which this article is listed under those needing clarity. - Darwin Naz (talk) 23:48, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
