Sources[edit]

I've just done some rewrites for neutrality and to remove extraneous information (although I seriously doubt I've perfected anything here), but this article still really lacks sources. I will look into some, but a more experienced editor is probably needed to back this article up. Soybiologia (talk) 15:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have just made a couple of minor edits. One of them was a simple spelling correction - apparently Albert Gilles did some work on the Capitol Building gates in Havana. I was lucky enough to visit this building personally a few years back, just to declare a tenuous personal connection. Hope this is helpful? Richard Move (talk) 22:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have searched for Albert Gilles on the ProQuest Arts Premium Collection, JSTOR, my the NCSU library search and have returned no relevant results to his work. I think there may be no other documentation of it than what his family provides on the website here I think this is going to have to be the place for someone to start rather than from his name and any other source. His artwork is beautiful from what is pictured so with some hope. Someone who is familiar and is a 3rd party to his work can comment and add here.

I've included a few more citations and did a few additional rewrites for potential bias. I also found more information on Aaron Mendelsohn (spelled Mendelson in the paper), as he had no attribution to back up the timing of his death in the 1930s. More citations could still be helpful, and I'll look into some art resources to see what I can find. Clairigold (talk) 06:46, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
