[edit]

-Is it only me but is the use of tenses in this article slightly off? 193.77.19.223 16:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PD status of images - questionable?[edit]

Only things that were first published in the US can use the 1922 or earlier PD criterion. I don't think her paintings were produced or published in the US first, were they? Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 10:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Fatal illness"[edit]

According to the page's present version, the artist died after "a botched lobotomy" - which doesn't justify the first-paragraph statement that the cause of her death was a "fatal psychiatric illness" [sic]. I've reworded the latter and revised its piped link. -- Deborahjay 08:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)--[reply]
