Description

Painting by Katherine Bradford, Bus Stop (acrylic on canvas, 72" x 60", 2021). The image illustrates a key later body of work in Katherine Bradford's career the early-2020s, when she produced figurative work that explored moodier color palettes and new collective themes referencing interpersonal relationships, familial intimacy and maternal feeling. The "Motherhood" series, from which this work comes, features ambiguous, somewhat crudely figures—drawn in contour lines against monochromatic Rothko-like grounds—that connect through spare gestures and contact that suggested lifetimes of affection, a heroic sense of care, or concerns regarding the COVID pandemic. 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 later body of work in Katherine Bradford's career the early-2020s: her figurative series including the "Motherhood" works, which departed from past series in terms of palette, process and new collective themes, referencing interpersonal relationships, familial intimacy and maternal feeling, and for the first time—outside events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This new work was characterized by moody color palettes, directly drawn thick outline, monumental scale, and a use of gesture and facial direction rather than expression to convey emotion. 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 development and late body of work in her art, which brought continuing recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Bradford's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
