Non-free media information and use rationale true for Jane Wenger
Description

Photograph by Jane Wenger, Wenger in front of Untitled from the "Faces" series (1978–79). The image illustrates a key body of work in Jane Wenger's career, when she produced several series of visceral and enigmatic black-and-white photographs of male faces. This image represents her "Faces" series (1978–79), which featured bodybuilders lifting weights in extreme close-up, the compressed compositions leaving only grimacing mouths, clenched teeth and straining mask-like features in flattened space. This work and related works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Jane Wenger's career: her visceral and enigmatic black-and-white photographs of male faces in compressed, intimate, close-up compositions of moments of extreme physical tension. These larger images (for her) of features depicted in flattened space were monumental in their impact. The image including Wenger enables a viewer to perceive the scale of the image. 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 phase in her art, which brought ongoing recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Wenger'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 Jane Wenger, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
