I adore JB's works. The exhibition just finished at the NPG here in Canberra was wonderful. His spare and pointed style together with the frequent humour makes him almost unique in art, at least to my limited knowledge. Perhaps satire isn't the word. His paintings of his daughters are hardly satirical, but they push aspects of the subject's character or body up for our amusement. --Pete (talk) 16:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Australian sculptors
Hello Dnwilson, I write articles for the Dutch wikipedia (nl.wikipedia) on sculptors. Since a few weeks my attention is drawn to Australian sculptors. To day I wrote the dutch version of Inge King. The illustrations of the articles on the Australians is given a Fair Use Template in stead of a normal license. Fair Use images are impossible to transfer to Wikimedia Commons and can't be used in other countries and in other wikipedia's. I wonder why? You must be aware of the fact that sculpture in Australia is covered by Freedom of Panorama for works of art permanently in the public space, as is the case in most of the Commonwealth countries. I most definitely like Australian art, but I am not allowed to use your images. I suggest you to alter the Fair Use Template in a licensed version and/or upload your images directly to Wikimedia Commons. Please give me your comment on this matter as more sculptors are involved.

Hermann Nonnenmacher
Thank you for your new article on Hermann Nonnenmacher. I have made a few comments and suggestions on its talk page, which are meant to be supportive.

I came across Nonnenmacher when I found a woodcut attributed to him in an auction. http://www.willinghamauctions.com/lots/view/38266/846. (I bid for this but was unsuccessful.) Was Nonnenmacher also a printmaker? Verbcatcher (talk) 22:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I have made some major changes to this article. I hope you approve - I know many authors have proprietorial feelings towards articles that they have created. I have split the article into sections, for readability and in an attempt to follow Wikipedia conventions, and I have introduced new material from UK newspaper archives.

 * I have replied to your questions and requests on my talk page talk (so that it's simpler to follow the thread), and on Talk:Iain Macnab (where it relates to that article). Verbcatcher (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
