Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early period and body of work in Elizabeth Sher's career, when in the late 1970s, she built a reputation as a printmaker and painter on the West Coast with complex prints and mixed-media works noted for their technical virtuosity, rich surfaces, dynamic compositions and sense of light. She drew particular attention for her largely abstract "Rope" series, which explored the formal and expressive possibilities of rope and incorporated photography, etching, serigraphy, collage, gestural drawing and painting, and sculptural elements. 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 a key developmental phase in her art, which brought early recognition to her work from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Sher's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Elizabeth Sher, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
