| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key method in William Nichols's landscape work: his use of photography as a reference to lock in information and capture specific, sometimes extraordinary, transitory moments or events and light with precision and clarity, such as the freak, early snowstorm depicted here. Nichols achieves both the spontaneity of Impressionism and the visual believability of Photorealism by combining photographic support and a rapid, gestural application of paint. 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 visualize this key technique in his work and its impact. Nichols's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
| Replaceable? |
