Painting by John Dilg, On Another Planet (oil on canvas, 16" x 20", 2012). The painting illustrates an early mature period in John Dilg's work in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when he committed fully to a spare, recognizable landscape motif. This work brought together diverse sources and precedents such as 19th-century chromolithography, classical Japanese woodcuts and Early Renaissance landscapes, folk or self-taught art, vintage postcards and game boards, and handmade signs to create a singular, personal vision. This work and similar works gained Dilg even wider notice and were publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an early mature period in John Dilg's career: his late 2000s–early 2010s work that committed fully to a spare, recognizable landscape motif. This work brought together diverse sources and precedents such as 19th-century chromolithography, classical Japanese woodcuts and Early Renaissance landscapes, folk or self-taught art, vintage postcards and game boards, and handmade signs to create a singular, personal vision. Dilg's pictorial elements of this time often tap into the primal power of archetypal subjects: waterfalls and gorges, towering sequoia forests and evergreens, and formations like Yosemite's Half Dome. 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 significant phase in his work, its reception and its impact. Dilg's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
