Description

Painting by Katherine Bradford, Superman Responds, Night (oil on canvas, 48" x 36", 2011). The image illustrates a key body of work in Katherine Bradford's career in the 2010s, when she began painting plunging figures and idiosyncratic, caped "Superman" characters, which critics described as luminous and sumptuously tactile, sometimes goofy or frumpy, vulnerable, genderless, and caught in a peculiar, tentative state between flying and diving. This work and related works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Katherine Bradford's career: her "Superman" paintings of the early 2010s, which featured plunging figures and idiosyncratic, caped heroes, set against creamy color fields or rubbed, atmospheric matte skies marked with star bursts and zigzags suggesting paths. Critics describe the figures as sometimes goofy or frumpy, vulnerable, genderless, and caught in a peculiar, tentative state between flying and diving and characterize these paintings as luminous and sumptuously tactile, with an off-handed yet acute and precise capturing of anatomy. 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 development and body of work in her art, which brought new recognition from major art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Bradford's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
