File:British Food by Paul Biddle artwork detail low res.jpg

Summary[edit]

Fair Use Rationale[edit]

This image, typical of Paul Biddle's inventive combination of collage, found objects, lighting and references to the work of painters such as Dali and Magritte, is shown here at very low resolution, just sufficient to give a general idea of the nature of his work and specifically to illustrate the text of the article Paul Biddle which uses this exact artwork, 'British Food', to explain Biddle's approach. The article draws readers' attention to details of the artwork shown in the photograph, including the background (a door) and the foreground elements (e.g. the fish used for a mouth). In this context, no other artwork or illustration would be a suitable substitute, and no free image is available either. Since Biddle is an art photographer, and notable precisely for his combination of skill in choosing objects, lighting, and photography, a small low-quality image unsuitable for commercial reproduction is the minimum necessary for encyclopaedic purposes.
