  •  Oppose - I'm either unimpressed with the painting and/or unimpressed with the reproduction. It looks like the painting may be in poor condition with paint loss, and maybe that's why the colors are washed out and the form isn't working well. I'm certainly a fan of good Impressionism, so that's not it. Do you think this is how he wanted the painting to look? I just may not like this artist. I looked at pictures of other work by him, and nothing really impressed me. Maybe a valued image, but not, IMO, an FP. I noted, by the way, that he has the merest of a stub on en.wikipedia.org, though he does have a short non-stub article on fr.wikipedia.org. Important collector, but important artist? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:39, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Please to evaluate the picture, not the painter. - Bzh-99 (talk) 10:27, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think so. A picture of an insipid piece of art would have to be amazingly spectacular to wow the viewer. So if you prefer "no wow" to be my explanation, you can take that. Also, please add a category to your nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:07, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not seeing it. It looks unsharp, although I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to look or not. Anyway, I'm not really blown away by this one. Oh and btw. Ikan is right about the creator's being able to cause a certain "wow factor" even if a painting is not in itself excellent. A bad painting by Picasso still carries more "wow" than a pretty one made by my grandmother.--Peulle (talk) 11:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
