Talk:Virginie Bovie

Lesbian artist
This article carries a tag for the category "Lesbian artists," but I don't think the article itself makes any mention of Ms. Bovie being a lesbian. Without some sort of citation it appears (even if it actually is factual) that this is an assumption based on the fact that she was a woman who never married.PurpleChez (talk) 13:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but you overlooked the sentence: The art historian Anne-Marie ten Bokum has conjectured that Bovie was a lesbian. There is a link to Ten Bokum's online article about Bovie. Ten Bokum is an art historian who seems to have a specialty in Belgian art of the 19th century; I don't know what she based her conjecture on. Cynwolfe (talk) 15:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
