Post-Abstract Expressionism: Wow!

I am Martin Hedgecoke, I recently found that my title of Post-Abstract Expressionism lives!! I had originally added it to wikipedia some time ago but they took it down for whatever reason. I am glad to see it survives!

Bauhaus: split details:

I removed the "listed site" type from this topic -- I checked the World Heritage data, and what they are actually listing is termed "Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar and Dessau" and corresponds to a number of buildings in the Bauhaus style. I'm not sure how we'll represent this in the protected areas domain, but it's clearly inappropriate for this topic.

Not sure how far we go with this. The art movement and architectural style could stay together, I suppose.

As a protected site, it was four different locations, they should probably have the city in the display name.

As an employer and educational institution, I suppose that could be it's own topic, or perhaps it could with the physical school locations (as each had a different director)

The Bauhaus art school existed in four different cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1926 to 1932, Berlin from 1932 to 1933) and Chicago from 1937 to 1938, under four different architect-directors (Walter Gropius from to, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from to and László Moholy-Nagy from to).

Minimalism: Need more precise property names

This page is a great example of the confusion property names can cause when a topic has several types that have similar properties. Sometimes the only way to find out for sure is to look at the type in schema editor. For example, the property "Artists" belongs to type Musical genre (Music), and the property "Associated Artists" belongs to type Art period/movement (Visual Art).

It may seem redundant at places, but we should strive for property names that would allow users to determine the expected type. So the property in Musical genre could be better named "Musical artists" and the property in Art period/movement could be better named "Visual artists".
