Pronunciation[edit]

How is her name pronounced: "Wie" like "why" or like "we"? 92.225.81.145 (talk) 08:25, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've always heard it pronounced as "we". If it's a German name, which I think it is, it should be pronounced "we". I know, not much help, but in my experience, within the Canadian art world, it's pronounced "we". freshacconci talktalk 12:45, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, it is a German name. In German the W is pronounced like V in English. Therefore the German (!) pronunciation would be vee-lunt. 85.179.79.118 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Exhibitions[edit]

Wieland was a widely-exhibited artist, and had several high-profile shows. Wouldn't it make sense to have a section citing her exhibitions? Arteme (talk) 14:19, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

This article contains a lot of great information and was clearly well-researched. There are a handful of instances where the information lack citations (for example in the lead: "...Museum of Modern Art in New York were showing her films." (??)) To improve the article, I would review and restructure the phrasing in some sentences as well as some formatting that more closely resemble the standard of Wikipedia. Some sentences are not neutral or are too colloquial, for example: " They fell in love when Watson was still engaged to another man." and "Wieland's aptitude for art was first expressed during her childhood, when she made many drawings and comic books to help her cope with the death of her parents. However, she didn't see herself working as an artist and wanted to get into fashion instead. As a teenager, she attended Central Technical School, where she studied commercial art and graphic design. Wieland first attended the school and enrolled in dress design, hoping she would acquire skills that would help her land a job since she knew art would not be financially rewarding." instead can be "Wieland's aptitude for art was first expressed during her childhood, when she made drawings and comic books to help her cope with the death of her parents. This artistic interest led to her studies in commercial art and graphic design at Central Technical School. Initially intending to pursue a career in fashion, Wieland once again turned her attention towards the arts at the behest of artist Doris McCarthy, a teacher at her school." Also I suggest moving the information regarding her marriage in a new section called "Personal Life" wherein you can include the details of her death, the addition of date of birth and death in the inbox artist would be helpful. In the "influences" section I would suggest to include the anecdote taken from Margaret Trudeau's book regarding the quilt incident as it is quite interesting. And perhaps if it exists some more information regarding PET's relationship with the quilt or how he came to have possession of it. In the lead, perhaps move this information/sentence: " and in 1987, she was awarded the Toronto Arts Foundation's Visual Arts Awards. She was also a member of the Royal Academy of Arts.[1]" into an 'awards' section or even in Career, as it concludes the introduction/lead with the distinguished and renowned award of the Order of Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bowie2016 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
