Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career period and body of work in Louise Belcourt's career: her paintings of the 2000s, which displayed concrete references to landscapes inspired by stark Canadian coastal vistas and wilderness, occupying a more ambiguous place between abstraction and representational. These works feature subtly modulated, horizontal bands suggesting stretches of land, sky and sea, whose spacious calm she often disrupted with the intrusion of incongruous, cartoon-like red tongue- or finger-like shapes that critics described as alternately mysterious, unsettling and comical. 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 distinct phase and key shift in her art, which brought further recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and institutions. Belcourt's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
