File:Patrick Webb Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor 2013-9.jpg

Patrick Webb, Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor (oil on canvas, 60" x 119", 2013–9). The image illustrates a later period and body of work by Patrick Webb from the 2000s, when he expanded his ongoing "Punchinello" paintings to depict night-time beach scene, large carnivalesque worlds, and experiences with the COVID epidemic. These cycles the pictured cycle, the atmospheric, sixty-two-canvas "Tinker Tailor" series, which uses the British nursery rhyme as a launching point for Punchinellos incarnating multiple identities, anachronistic activities, childhood experiences and screen memories, which serve in Jonathan Katz's words as figuration of queerness: a "fraught combination of a camouflaged, yet excessive, performance of selfhood." This body of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent museums and venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later period and body of work in Patrick Webb's career from the 2010s and 2020s: his cycles of "Punchinello" paintings, which expanded to depict night-time beach scene, larger carnivalesque worlds based on nursery rhymes, and experiences with the COVID epidemic. These include his "Night and Day," "COVID Paintings," and atmospheric, sixty-two-canvas "Tinker Tailor" series, which uses the British nursery rhyme as a launching point for Punchinellos incarnating multiple identities, anachronistic activities, childhood experiences and screen memories. 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 evolution of his art, which brought ongoing recognition from art journals, daily press publications, and art institutions. Webb's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
