Work on User:Nobrook's articles for translation

Nobrook seems to have left... his last edit was in November 2010...

Weingut II, aka Project Ringeltaube
Canadian Art Club - looking over some of my older articles, found that this page has been seriously screwed up. Not happy.
Floyd Kuptana - yes, his imagery is grotesque and he is a druggie. Someone has whitewashed this article...

Correct Hofmannsthal; it should be a disambig in its own right rather than redirecting where it does
de:Quempas
de:Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen
de:Puer natus in Bethlehem
Historicism (art) - compare with German article...
Jerusalem the Emanation of the Giant Albion - completely unreferenced; badly needs improvement, and I'd really like to do more Blake-related editing.
A Poison Tree - too many of the articles on the Songs of Innocence and Experience poems are junky little middle school essays rather than proper articles... The Tyger is just sad...
Well done, Bot (Claps)
Pre-Columbian art of Central America - the "Intermediate area"
Viktor Oliva - needs a total re-write
de:Surimono
Martin Schongauer needs citations, additional information
I Saw the Figure Five in Gold - evidently FU in US, only thing to do is give it its own article
de:Münchner Secession
Sky art - see Otto Piene
Konrad Witz needs improvement...
Expand Heinrich Vogeler
de:Heller-Altar
de:Trias Romanas
it:Adorazione dei Magi (Dürer)
Rembrandt paintings: Descent from the Cross and Suzanna and the Elders. Also Abraham and Isaac - important part of that painting is Rembrandt shows the knife in midair, after he's dropped it.
Leo Gestel
de:Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon
Islamic artists on the Grove- we have huge gaps in biographies for that area.
Very useful site on Islamic ceramics
Monforte Altarpiece
Unter den Linden (poem)
Ife bronzes
Art and morality - important topic that needs expansion...
Julius Langbehn - current article does not do justice to his special degree of batshit craziness
Nazi subterranea - see de:U-Verlagerung, also de:Decknamen nationalsozialistischer Geheimobjekte
de:Geheimes Deutschland
German Expressionism - woeful page... currently contains no information on either Die Brücke or Der Blaue Reiter... Expressionism could use a rework too...
List of art historians - so we have List of Slovenian art historians but not this? Use de:Liste bekannter Kunsthistoriker, as well as the French article, as a basis.
Montien Boonma
Geoffrey Clarke (picked up from Henry Moore)
The Rock Drill - another important work of early modernism...
Upload me! Oh, Symbolism! Meanwhile, in Japan...
Crypto-fascism - some to translate on the history of the term...
Perhaps make commons categories for some of Blake's mythological figures - at least the more easily recognized ones, like Satan, Urizen, Los, God the father, Christ, etc. Would be helpful for people just broaching his mythology... Tho often it's unclear... This for example is an obvious Urizenic figure (Nobodaddy) but probably not Urizen per se...
The Book of Urizen - needs more details about different versions...
de:Lüftlmalerei
Germans - needs a section on art
Eugen Schönebeck - and most of the others redlinked at Anselm Kiefer
List of engravers - so we have List of French engravers but not this...
Otto Mueller - new user heavily editing this page, needs a large amount of cleanup
de:Galerie Schmela - site of How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (which needs some editing too)
Frederick III, Elector of Saxony - important German historical figure...
William Blake's mythology - needs clarification
Tilted Arc - so much more to say here
Austria - section on Art and architecture needs to be more than just a list of names. Or maybe even Austrian art - wow that article is a bear...
Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller -references needed
de:Wally Neuzil - and work on Schiele in general...
de:Carl Reininghaus - maybe?
de:Arthur Roessler - definitely. Check the ÖBL...
Adolf Hölzel - references needed
Josef Danhauser - train wreck translation
Rudolf von Alt - references needed
de:Heinrich Tischler - maybe
de:Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel - maybe
de:Neukunstgruppe - probably
de:Die Fackel - definitely
Horst Antes - add refs, deal with BS tags
de:Todesfuge - plenty to translate...
Eggshell pottery - see Longshan culture. In looking through articles on ceramics in general there seems to be inordinate focus on porcelain as opposed to more functional, popular wares... probably an artifact of export and collecting. But many wares given as exclusively porcelain were stoneware as well... etc. Also, Japanese ceramics and Korean ceramics should be the article titles, not "pottery and porcelain". I really don't care about the semantic issues in their languages - these are the proper terms in Western art historiography and it is not our role to go around inventing titles... especially as "porcelain" is a type of "pottery" - so "porcelain and pottery" is absurd...
Pottery firing should not redirect where it does. The section on firing in Pottery could also use improvement...
Henry Valensi
List of art collectors - maybe
Important: remove all links to sites that reproduce Grove entries per WP:Linkvio
Disambiguate Neger
de:Agnes Dürer
Horns - needs a section on symbolism. The Devil in Christian art would be another interesting topic...
de:Johannes Grützke
The template being used for African art (see Benin art, for example) is horribly inappropriate... nationality is not the way to approach this...
Neoclassicism - another train wreck
Vanessa Beecroft - cleanup
The Creation of Adam - do we really need the Simpsons here...
Woman with a Pearl Necklace - new editor editing this article, needs help and soon... but not tonight...
Fix the various "Keys of/to the Kingdom" redirects and disambigs...
Japanese art - proofread
- es:Daisenryō-Kofun
The Pioneers (novel) has recently been heavily edited by IPs, looks like a mess
Persian pottery - an article that isn't a copyvio...
Roland Klick
Deadlock (1970 film)
Roger Fritz
Some Munich locations - Nordfriedhof, Führerbau, etc. These have been stubbed by someone else but are still just one-liners.
Charlotte Posenenske
More works by Joseph Beuys; see de:Kategorie:Joseph Beuys
More works by Caspar David Friedrich, see de:Kategorie:Gemälde von Caspar David Friedrich
Karl Friedrich Schinkel needs improvement
de:Joachim Heinrich Wilhelm Wagener
de:Ferdinand von Schirach - in progress
de:Judith Schalansky
Make a nav template for Ancient Greek / Classical architecture
Annunciation (El Greco)
Nicola Hicks - needs help, has been taken over by a representative of the artist
Hu (vessel) has been vastly but unevenly expanded; need to salvage some of the old material, check for copyvios, and generally clean up the piece

Some random art historians:
