Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an early and consistent type of work in William Nichols's landscape painting career, developed in the late 1970s: his highly detailed depictions of tactile, dense, close-up screens of foliage and thicket, which combine physical scale with intimacy. These works, often focused on unassuming gardens and forests rather than grand vistas, and mixing traditions of Impressionism and Realism, gained him recognition in New York and the Midwest and in national art publications in the 1980s. 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 key developmental phase in his work and its impact. Nichols's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed extensively in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
