Portion used

The entire front cover. Because the image is a Book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original Book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Author. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is used in a discussion of the author of the work, for purposes of commentary on the author and how it relates to this work. The discussion of the author would not be complete without referring to this work. This media is used to identify the key work by this author. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the Book cover creator's ability to provide Book cover design services and in turn marketing Books to the public.

Replaceable?

As a Book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the Book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. There is no free image known, or reasonable possibility of creating one, that would convey the necessary information about the author.

Other information

Image needs to be used as he is dead and the article is useless without his book in it.
