File:Hilary Wilder Violet in Rome 2019.jpg

Painting by Hilary Wilder, Violet in Rome (Rocks and Bullets) (oil, acrylic and embroidery wool on canvas, 40" x 30", 2019). The image illustrates the work of artist Hilary Wilder, whose paintings, installations and sculpture often explore a central tension between representation and abstraction. This image represents her later painting, which took on a more fractured, collage-like appearance, juxtaposing images of nature, abstract pattern, trompe l'oeil effects and multiple views. This work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art and press publications.

Yes. The image will not affect the commercial value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.

The image has contextual significance, serving an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating the artwork of artist Hilary Wilder, who is most known for painting and installation art that employs familiar visual languages (e.g., from landscape and abstract painting and modern design) to explore how personal experience, historical events and places are represented, and sometimes fictionalized, misunderstood or idealized. Her work has been characterized as expressing a central tension between representation and abstraction—mixing elements of the picturesque 19th-century Romantic style and the modernist abstract grid—that signals competing impulses of a human desire for order and the chaos of the cosmos. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding of the article. Wilder's work of this type and this series, as well as this specific work, are discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
