Submission declined on 21 May 2024 by UtherSRG (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: What is needed is signifiant coverage (not just name-checks, see WP:SIGCOV) in secondary sources that are fully independent of the person, not primary sources where the artist has an affiliation/connection. Also all embedded bare URL external links should be converted to proper sources. Netherzone (talk) 07:53, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Margaret Lazzari is an American artist, educator, and author, based primarily in Los Angeles, California.

Education

Lazzari graduated from Saint Louis University in 1975.^[1] Lazzari received her Master of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Career

As of 2023 she is professor emerita at the University of Southern California, Roski School of Art and Design. ^[2]

Margaret Lazzari's artwork has engaged a wide range of subjects in both realistic and abstract styles, including bodies^[3]^[4], beauty^[5], gender^[6], power^[7]^[8]^[9] ^[10], censorship^[11], illness^[12]^[13]^[14] and death^[15]. She has also produced pure abstractions^[16] and nature-based landscape works^[17]^[18]. Lazzari primarily paints, but has also produced audio-visual installations^[19], and public sculptures^[20], sometimes partnering with Lauren Evans.^[1]

Exhibitions

Lazzari has had many solo exhibitions of her work including those at the Billis Williams Gallery^[21]^[22], Los Angeles, at the Fresno Art Museum^[23]^[24], Riverside Art Museum^[25]^[26], and USC Fisher Museum of Art. As half of the Lazzari Evans Public Art design team, she has produced several public commissions, with themes that make evident the persistence of nature in urban environments.

Other books include Drawing; Life Drawing; and Art and Design Fundamentals, In contrast to traditional Art Appreciation texts, Exploring Art pioneered an innovative thematic, rather than chronological, structure and much greater inclusion of non-Western art.
