| Description |
Painting, Temple of the Kultur Kritik (oil on canvas, 72" x 72", 1985) by Thomas Lawson. The painting illustrates a key thematic shift in Thomas Lawson’s earlier work of the later 1980s, away from figurative work and toward images of classical architecture and mountain landscapes that connoted institutionalized culture, power and mysticism. This painting and body of work was exhibited and reviewed extensively in notable shows, major art journals and daily press publications. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key shift in Lawson’s technique, imagery and thematic concerns, away from the figure and towards images of classical architecture, monuments, and mountain landscapes that connoted institutionalized culture, power and mysticism, which he obscured with veils of painterly, scumbled brushstrokes. It also foreshadowed his shift to public works in the 1990s. 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 developmental phase in his work and its impact. Lawson’s work of this type and this painting in particular is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article, as a representative work of this phase. |
