Facial-maschera: I cannot find any WP:SIGCOV , let alone mentions of the work in the few biographies of Henri Matisse that I have checked.  This page is the only contribution of the editor.  Possible hoax?  Tooncool64 ( talk ) 21:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletion discussions .  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:24, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Matisse wasn't painting by 1951 other than small gouaches, so this would be an unusual work and would probably have garnered more scholarship if real.  Given that there seems to be none, suggests this may be a hoax.  We would need to verify the existence of the painting.  freshacconci (✉) 23:12, 10 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Given that the article says this work "is one of Matisse's best examples of his use of color and form" it should be known enough to be included in books and articles.  Since none has been found so far I've removed it from the Matisse navbox pending further research findings.  I notice that I questioned the paintings authenticity in 2017 and, if a hoax, is a rather long-running one (2008).  The Beasts of the Sea page says "Eventually by 1950 he stopped painting in favor of his paper cutouts" which would call this page into question (as well as it being in the Fauvism style, which ended decades earlier).  Randy Kryn ( talk ) 08:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I emailed the Getty Research Institute and asked them to check the 1988 catalogue raisonné .  A picture by this name appears in a Matisse Facebook group.  It appears to be a black outline of a face on a red ground.  Very simple, kinda Picasso-y but lighter in spirit, not sure I'd call it fauvist at all.  I presume this article should be deleted for lack of significant coverage even if it's not an outright hoax, but I'll circle back to vote later.  jengod ( talk ) 12:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , load of OR and no indication of SIGCOV.  Aintabli ( talk ) 23:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete.  Couldn't find even mentions of it after looking it up; definitely doesn't meet notability guidelines.  That Tired Tarantula Burrow 22:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I could find no evidence of notability.  I'd guess it's a hoax.  BennyOnTheLoose ( talk ) 00:23, 14 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete as per above.  The Getty won't crack a book any sooner than 10 weeks from now and then it might cost money (?!), so I'm letting that door close.  Happy to see this recreated someday if someone finds sources but for now goodbye.  jengod ( talk ) 08:17, 14 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete for all the reasons given above.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novellasyes ( talk • contribs ) Delete : Lack of coverage and other above reasons.

D?  ✨ 18:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : As discussed above, this would be notable if it is considered the "best example" of Henri Matisse.
