Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key period in Himmelfarb's mature art in the 1960s, when he worked in an increasingly abstract style in a style and began using collage in addition to oil paint in more fragmented compositions that recalled both the abstraction of Hans Hofmann and the Pop, representational-abstract silkscreens of Robert Rauschenberg. 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 developmental phase in his mature work. Himmelfarb's work of this type and this painting in particular is discussed in the article and in art historical works cited in the article, as a representative work of this phase.

Replaceable?
