Margo Humphrey[edit]

(

)

... that Margo Humphrey's colorful transformation of "The Last Supper", The Last Bar-B-Que, is considered one of American visual culture's iconic images?

ALT1: ~~... that printmaker Margo Humphrey has taught art in Fiji, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe as well as the United States?~~

I replaced the text <the last supper> with <"The Last Supper">. I think we should give Da Vinci at least as much respect as Humphrey. :-) As far as "Fiji" in the Alt1 hook - she didn't actually teach in Fiji since it was distance education, but she was invited by the Queen, which might be another hook to consider.

My intention was to refer to the event rather than a particular painting; in one of the sources she talks about having looked at many different depictions of the last supper before creating her own work, so I would want to avoid implying that Da Vinci was the major influence (even if he is the best known). One of the other sources suggests she did actually travel to Fiji to teach, I'll make sure to add that one to the citations. Thanks! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:55, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

interesting person, on good sources. I like the original hook better, but suggest to use the phrasing of the source:

ALT2: ... that Margo Humphrey based her colorful The Last Bar-B-Que on The Last Supper, creating one of the "iconic images in American visual culture? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:29, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

No comment for a while, strike ALT1

original, but think ALT2 wording of the same might be considered, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:27, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
