Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key, longstanding body of work in David Ligare's career beginning in the late 1970s: his realist figurative paintings, which draw upon classical ideals of the human form and strict compositional arrangements derived from Renaissance and neo-classical paintings. Ligare often focused on archetypal, single women or athletic nudes that typified a classical idea or humanist moral principle also relevant to contemporary life. 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 understand this key body of work, which brought Ligare early and ongoing recognition through traveling exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and museum acquisitions. Ligare's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
