| Description |
Sculpture by Barbara Cooper, Mast (wood and glue, 85" x 55" x 32", 2000). The image illustrates a mid-career stage in Barbara Cooper's career in the late 1990s and 2000s, when her sculptural work shifted to commanding, larger-than-human, more tree- or torso-like forms that reflected natural building processes—the outward, ringed growth of trees, layering of cells in an embryo, bundling of fibers into muscle, or accretive forming of shells. This work and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career stage in Barbara Cooper's career in the late 1990s and 2000s, when her sculptural work shifted to commanding, larger-than-human, more tree- or torso-like forms and incorporated new methods and qualities, such as dappled, fish-scale-like surfaces, visible drips of sap-like glue, and materials such as junked automotive parts and cast steel that conflated the organic and fabricated. These works often reflected natural building processes—the outward, ringed growth of trees, layering of cells in an embryo, bundling of fibers into muscle, or accretive forming of shells—or the reaction to obstacles (e.g., by water bodies), and expressed themes of vulnerability, healing, and ecological threat. 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 this mature phase in her work, which were featured in major group and solo shows, national reviews, and museum acquisitions. Cooper's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
