... that Lorenza Böttner, a mouth and foot painter, had both of her arms amputated following an electrocution? Source: "At the age of eight, Ernst suffered an accident in which he was electrocuted by power lines he had climbed while chasing after a bird; this resulted in the amputation of both of his arms" [1]
- ALT1:... that Lorenza Böttner, an artist who had both arms amputated, played the role of Petra at the 1992 Summer Paralympics? Source: "Back in Europe, she played the part of Petra, the mascot of the 1992 Paraolympics in Barcelona, who was drawn by the artist Javier Mariscal (born in 1950)." [2]
- ALT2:... that the art of Lorenza Böttner depicts herself, as well as marginalized figures, such as prostitutes, those facing police violence, and lesbian and gay people? Source: "While the vast majority of Lorenza’s photos and oil paintings are self-portraits ... These paintings introduce a gallery of socially subaltern characters with whom the artist established an alliance through drawing: Amsterdam prostitutes, African Americans as the object of police violence in New York, lesbian sexuality under the shadow of the male gaze, and gay sexuality depicted as a tender bond."

Comment: Böttner is sometimes called Ernst in the sources because that is her birth name and that is how scholars approach her pre-transition life. Other hooks and modifications welcome.

The article is new enough and long enough. I assume good faith on the offline reference. All hooks are directly cited. A QPQ is completed. The promoter can choose the hook. SL93 (talk) 06:18, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
