Category talk:Josep Maria Cañellas

Hi,

A few comments here:

• The name of the photographer is not Jean-Marie Cañellas, but Josep Maria Cañellas (sometimes Josep Maria Cañellas Mata).
• The photographer was not French, he was Catalan, although most of his career was spent in Paris.
• Several photographs shown here are *not* from Cañellas.
  • e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Risque_Nude_Girl_Artist_Study_France_old_Photo_CC_1880.jpg
• Several other photographs could *possibly* be attributed to Cañellas, but not for sure, and it would help to provide a statement about it.
  • e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Untitled,_Nude_standing_by_garden_rocks_Albumen_print,_ca._1890.jpg

The page https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/Photographie/Personnalit%C3%A9s/C/Josep_Maria_Ca%C3%B1ellas is not a fully reliable source.

Also: there is a lot more than the nude photographs to Cañellas' work.

I have just published an article (in French) on this photograph fr:Josep Maria Cañellas, and I am looking to add pictures to it. I am wondering if I should tap into this present set or upload other more qualified pictures.

If anybody reads this, I'll be happy to discuss further.

Best,

@The fully masked etc: thanks for the info! Google gives quite many hits to "Jean-Marie Cañellas". Is it absolutely invalid name? And any idea, which are sources of the name of "Jean-Marie Cañellas"--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it is an invalid name. I think all the Google hits are due to the Wikimedia Commons entry itself (creation dates back to 2012) which was then reused by others (e.g. in Flickr, eBay, etc.). I guess this invalid name was given after a series of wrong assumptions in trying to produce a French equivalent to the original Catalan name: Josep = Jean (wrong), Maria = Marie (ok), Jean followed by Marie = Jean-Marie (wrong).

The official name is Josep Maria Cañellas or Josep Maria Cañellas Mata (Mata is his mother's maiden name). In the French official documents (marriage, death acts), the first name is changed to its French equivalent: Joseph (but never to Jean). In these documents, the full set of first names is Joseph Maria Pierre Conrad. The family name is sometimes written with the Catalan ending (Cañelles) rather than the Castillan one (Cañellas); this last variant is a common one between the two languages.
