| Description |
Photograph by Jane Wenger, 05-18-1977.5-1 from the "Bald Heads" series (Gelatin silver print, 17" x 14", 1977). The image illustrates a key body of work in Jane Wenger's career, when she produced several series of surreal, black-and-white photographs focused on the male form. This image represents her "Bald Heads" series (1977), which feature an isolated head, its face generally concealed, in tight close-up against open panoramas and minimal interiors. The series emphasizes the sensuality of surfaces—excruciatingly detailed depictions of pores, veins, beads of water and expanses of skin that read as abstract forms, textures and land masses and critics suggested were repulsive yet compelling. This work and related works have 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 body of work in Jane Wenger's career: her black-and-white photography of the male form, which included abstracted nudes and intense, visceral close-ups of heads, often during moments of extreme physical tension. The compressed compositions in these series were often shot using both strobe and natural light to create unnatural tonal and shadowing effects, producing emotional discomfort and a surreal quality. 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 phase in her art, which brought ongoing recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Wenger's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
