Designers ??[edit]

bibliographical information on painters, sculptors, designers and engravers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.199.243.166 (talk) 21:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is a mistranslation of the French title, which lists "dessinateurs", meaning "draftsmen." There is a similar problem, I believe, with "engravers," which really should be the more broad term "printmakers." I am hesitant to edit it myself because of conflict of interest guidelines (I am currently an editor of Benezit).Krawlings79 (talk) 14:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More info about Benezit on Oxford Art Online[edit]

There is more information about Benezit here: http://www.oxfordartonline.com/subscriber/book/oao_benz and especially here: http://www.oxfordartonline.com/subscriber/page/benz/story that could be used to expand and update this entry. I'm hoping another editor can contribute so I can avoid conflict of interest as an editor of the dictionary.Krawlings79 (talk) 14:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
