| Description |
Photograph by Jane Wenger, 09-10-1976.3-3, from the "Self-Portrait" series (Gelatin silver print, 3" x 3.625", 1976). The image illustrates a key period and body of work early in Jane Wenger's career, when she first gained recognition for surreal, black-and-white photographs of abstracted, human forms. This image represents her "Self-Portraits" series (1976), which took a reductive approach to the female nude. Small in scale (two or three by four inches), the dramatically foreshortened and cropped images transform the female body into abstract suggestions of landscape or monumental totem-like forms with impact beyond their size. 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 period and body of work early in Jane Wenger's career: her black-and-white photography of abstracted, human forms that capture the body in intimate, surreal close-up in compressed compositions with minimal context. Created in the context of various series, using a wide-angle lens and unconventional lighting to create an unusual perspective and disorienting effects, the images distill the body into iconic forms that suggest landscape, architecture and mythic themes. 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. Wenger's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
| Replaceable? |
