I have just come across a very nice article on Maistora (by googling of course). It is of scholarly status and hence can be the seed article for the References section which I hope to begin now.

Valentina Assenova, "Vladimir Dimitrov-Maistora’s Bulgarian Madonna: Creed, Criticism, Propaganda", University of Pennsylvania, April 2006. http://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=uhf_2006 Retrieved 2008-12-06

Done! Now the next task is to write an appropriate text that fits the Wikipedia article and is supported by this paper.--Михал Орела (talk) 18:56, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am now finding that the information provided by the Kyustendil Art Gallery is worth adding. I am making the assumption that what is there provided is accurate. Other sources are still needed for independent confirmation. I have visited the Gallery twice and have met the Director several times. Hence, the gallery web site is moved to the Reference section.--Михал Орела (talk) 11:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notes

edit

A good way in which to cite the references is to make a (foot)note for the appropriate text. Hence I introduce a section on Notes.--Михал Орела (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Social engagement

edit

The first note of importance (to fill in details of Maistora's life) is the factness of his joining the Communist Party in 1946. Such historical detail is necessary to understand a large amount of the drawings and paintings that he made during that period. However, one must treat Maistora with the respect due. Instead of a section called Politics, I propose Social engagement. --Михал Орела (talk) 19:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

In a sense, every artist has an impact on the local social life; this then broadens out to the wider region, whether Nation state, or ... Until there is a better way to locate the artist's work in time (and space) I will continue to use the list format. --Михал Орела (talk) 11:01, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Location

edit

I have just discovered a transcription "error" in Assenova's paper. Instead of her "Shishkovzi" we ought to write "Shishkovtsi" (Bulgarian: Шишковци); need to say something about the location of Shishkovtsi
