Talk:Milton Horn

message: Do anyone know if MH attended the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design [about which I am about to post an article]  in NYC during his studies there?  I think that he did [details upon request] but thought I'd toss it out here first.  Carptrash 01:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Milt at B.A.I.D. 

message: The problem with being so meticulous about the last 20 years of Horn's life , is that it suggests that equal attention has been paid to the previous 40 , when that is far from the case.  There are many completed, original sculptures which are not on this list -- several of them in Horn's distinctive  Jewish and mythopoetic genres.  If we are not going to list everything he made, we have to  distinguish between the more-important from the less-important --- and these items, including "Halacha", "Birth of a Poet",
"Binding of Isaac", "Pain", "Recording in the Book of Life", and  "On the Brink of the Precipice", "Consecration of Isaiah", and "He walks on the wind"  are arguably far important than the final sketches, medallions, re-castings, and even the portrait of Paula.  
Now that Paula has proven her point (at least to her satisfaction) that the man she knew had not yet retired, perhaps she can  augment the rest of the list. She has all the  relevant pictures, exact titles, and the dates of completion. 
Or maybe we should consider limiting the bio to the completed public commissions  (with the exception of Job and "God and Israel" which were important enough to Milton to add them, himself, to the list of his   accomplishments)
I think we should also reconsider whether details of Horn's dying moments and the resolution of his estate are appropriate to any kind of an encylopedia.

thread_title:  Details of the Biography 

message: at least up until 1976 or so, seems to be a pretty verbatim version of the chronology to be found in Milton Horn, Sculptor, published by the Spertus Museum of Judaica.  I wonder if there are copy right issues here?  If nothing else, this reality should be acknowledged somewhere. [everywhere?]  Carptrash 21:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: well i think that Paula should be encouraged to contribute here.  We each have our slant on things and if you get enough slanted things happening you end up with an upright structure.  Sort of like a tee pee.  Only different.  But certainly the folks who wrote the chronology should be credited. Carptrash 21:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  the current biography 

message: I just made a pass at making this look more like a typical Wikipedia biography. I have embedded some comments in the article about work that remains.  Editors knowledgable about Horn but not about Wikipedia should take a look at Wikipedia featured articles for examples of good biographies. 69.3.70.35 23:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: a look back through the history of this article shows [opinion] that it was a more typical bio for a while - and then morphed into what you see now Carptrash 01:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs clean up

message: Milton Horn is just HIGH on my original research projects - which I dare not confuse with wikipedia. Still, being flagged for four different  . . . .  well, never mind. Carptrash 00:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sorry, i get confused.
