Painting, Salt Air (oil on linen, 108” x 60”, two panels, each 54” x 60”, 2018) by artist Barbara Grad. The painting illustrates a late phase and body of work in Barbara Grad’s career during the 2010s, when she extended her fractured, abstract landscapes in ways that furthered the abstraction and splintered sense of earlier works. These works were exhibited extensively and reviewed in numerous art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a late phase in Grad’s career, in the 2010s: her late-period fractured, abstract landscapes, which expanded her splintering of composition and environmental concerns in freer forms of abstract expression. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this late body of work and important phase in her art. Grad’s work of this type and this painting in particular is discussed in the article and this work was reviewed extensively in art journals and news periodicals.

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Grad, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.

The image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art.
