File:Judith Murray Once in the Morning 2014.jpg

Painting by Judith Murray, Once in the Morning (oil on linen, 72" x 151", 2014). The image illustrates a later period and body of work in Judith Murray's career in the 2010s, when her paintings increasingly featured deeper and more complex, modulated colors, complex rhythms, whirlwind compositions, and a sense of discontinuous space that bridged Eastern and Western influences. Works such as this large diptych, used overflowing, richly colored brushstrokes that reviews compare to swarms of bees or schools of fish crossing the picture plane to explore a sense of deep space and evoke landscapes in flux. This body of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent museums and venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later period and body of work in Judith Murray's career in the 2010s: her more expressive and complex, "all-over" paintings featuring more modulated colors, complex rhythms, whirlwind compositions, and a sense of discontinuous space. Critics suggest that these paintings convey landscapes in flux, worlds in transition and the roiling energy of the cosmos, while noting their synthesis of Murray's early hard-edged work (with imbricated, scattered shapes) and ongoing expressive style. 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 a key mature phase and distinct body of work in her art, which brought greater recognition from museums, art journals, and daily press publications. Murray's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
