Fair Use Rationale for George Maciunas[edit]

1. This is a significant performance that could not be conveyed in words.
2. It is an important example of the public performance of an event-score mentioned in the article, and, whilst seminal, remains elusive and much misunderstood within the limited publications dealing with fluxus.
3. It is important to attempt to convey in images an outline of Maciunas extraordinary range and versatility as an artist.
4. The very nature of performance art is transitory, and therefore to compile a dictionary of modern art, reliance upon visual, copyrighted photos, is unavoidable to explain the nature of the piece accurately.
5. It illustrates one of Maciunas' most compelling characteristics, that of delighting in disrupting traditional expectations and roles.
6. There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement available.
7. Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
8. Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the subject, or the work of the subject, of the article(s).
9. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work of such low quality that it would be unlikely to impact sales of the work.

This image represents a two-dimensional work of art, such as a drawing, painting, print, or similar creation.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of artworks: for purposes of critical commentary on: the specific work in question, the artistic genre or technique employed in the artwork, or the artistic school or tradition to which the artist is associated, as applied within the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers located in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other use of this image, whether on Wikipedia or elsewhere, could potentially constitute a copyright infringement.
