Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an early stage and distinct body of work in Brenda Zlamany's career in the 1980 and early 1990s: her first mature body of work of meticulously rendered paintings of animal carcasses (birds, blowfish, snakes, sharks, iguanas) isolated and floating ambiguously in dark, painterly abstract fields. This work was noted for its mastery of academic glazing techniques, delicate sense of color and texture, paint application suggestive of both Old Master and Abstract Expressionist technique, and vaguely allegorical, icon-like contemplations of life, death, desire and spirituality. 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 this key, first mature phase in her work, which attracted national reviews and prominent exhibition. Zlamany's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
