The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a new type of work (painting) and critical moment in the artist's practice and technique: to painting from mixed media and assemblage. This work has been singled by critics and curators as a pivotal work in the artist’s career and has been written about and exhibited extensively. 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 method in his art and his development. Bramson’s work of this type and the work itself are discussed in the article and elsewhere.
