Tilcayo Cats Original: editorial record

Local assessment: Start-Class. This is a Tilcayo editorial assessment, not a Wikipedia award or an independent audit.

Directly necessary deceased-artist support for The Figure Five. Death 19 May 2018 verified in Elizabeth Botten’s Smithsonian Magazine account; artist record independently within the same institution gives 1928–2018. Brief introduction, not comprehensive career or reception. The older museum biography contains an outdated present-tense closing sentence, which is not repeated. Magazine acquisition wording conflicts with object credit; omitted. No images, living-person or organisation exceptions.

Original prose written from the inspected references, 10 October 2026. The saved painting list supplied research leads, not prose. Role: supporting artist. This is a bounded initial article, not a claim that the literature has been exhausted.

Preserve this Original at every grade. Grade or length alone must not trigger deletion, blanking, imported replacement, redirection away or regeneration.
