| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early period in Lawson’s career when he gained attention as a "The Pictures Generation" artist creating deadpan paintings of crudely modelled media archetypes isolated on painterly fields that were drawn from tabloid stories. This work was hotly contested during the first half of the 1980s in major art publications. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key period in his work and in art history in general. Lawson’s work of this type and this painting in particular is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article, was exhibited prominently at the time and later, and is regarded as a representative work of this phase. |
