Horror vacui (art)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it simply because of interest. I admire the art of Geometric Greece, particularly the funerary amphorae, which often used horror vacui.

Evaluate the article
The article is missing a citation in its “examples” section. Otherwise, the rest of the information appears supported.

there is a usage of good imagery to illustrate the concept. It may be more helpful to include more images from each artistic movement that is mentioned. Some of the images also should contain more information, such as size or material of the art work.

It appears that the article was longer as it included the concept in regards to other fields of study, but it was split, as the talk section indicates. Overall, the page seems rather short and not well organized. For example, the Origins section reads like a list of examples more so than an original behind the term and it’s usage. Then it has a section titled examples underneath the origin section. Perhaps a few examples from the origins section can be over here or perhaps rewritten to explain why it was included in the origins section. Furthermore, I think it would be better to express the different examples in chronological order, grouping the examples by art medium. Speaking of mediums, there are other artists who use the concept of horror vacui in other mediums that maybe could be considered to show that horror vacui could be applied to a broad range of artistic mediums.

Other than the organizational issue, the page is easy to read with no noticeable misspellings or grammatical errors. Any issues regarding representation and tone seems to have already been addressed in the talk section and eliminated. Furthermore, all the links I clicked worked. The lead section is concise and easy to understand.

Overall, the article has a good back-bone but needs work.
