| Description |
Painting by Harriet Korman (untitled, acrylic gesso and crayon on dyed canvas, 60" x 84", 1969). The image illustrates a key early period and body of work in Harriet Korman's career, when she first gained wide recognition in the 1970s for work that sought to reinvent painting using strategies from Process Art. Early works like this one investigate subtle gestural problems and compositional means that break with modernist tradition, using predetermined processes of addition and subtraction and loose grid structures made by drawing parallel lines, dots, dashes or numbers in crayon, covering them with gesso, and then scraping with a palette knife to bring together the two layers. This work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early period and body of work in Harriet Korman's career, when she first gained wide recognition in the 1970s for work that sought to reinvent painting using strategies from Process Art. These works investigate subtle gestural problems and compositional means breaking with modernism, and emphasize arbitrariness and a nonchalance about the end product, countering the heroic narratives of minimalism. Created using predetermined processes of addition and subtraction (drawing, covering and scraping) and loose grid structures, they have been compared to the work of Agnes Martin and Eva Hesse. 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 a key developmental phase in her art, which brought wide recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Korman's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
