Painting by Greg Drasler, Baggage Claim (oil on canvas, 80" x 70”, 1990). The image illustrates a key early stage in the 1980s and early 1990s in Greg Drasler's career when he gained recognition for allegorical representational paintings that explored liminal spaces and thresholds between places or states of being.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early stage in the 1980s and early 1990s in Greg Drasler's career when he first gained recognition: his early representational paintings, which explore liminal spaces and thresholds between places or states of being. These paintings depicted figures in forlorn landscapes with unexpected props or, as in this well-known series, objects such as baggage, which serve as human stand-ins. Critics noted this work for its allegories of identity, luxury and privacy, playfulness with conventions of literature and representation, meticulous detail, fluid brushwork. 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 a key phase in his career, which cannot be adequately conveyed in verbal description alone. Drasler's work of this type and this work in particular brought him early recognition from major art journals and daily press publications and is discussed both in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
