| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key early period in Ellen Carey's career: her portraits and especially, self-portraits, of the 1970s and 1980s. She gained wide notice in particular for brilliantly hued, multiple-exposure color self-portraits, such as this one, made with one of only five existing Polaroid 20 × 24 cameras. This work departed from traditional portraiture in no longer seeking to capture the identity of its subjects, and instead, represented the de-individualized human spirit which she merged with Op Art and Pop patterns evoking technology, biology, consciousness, time, and perhaps artificial intelligence. 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 this key early developing stage in her practice and its impact. Carey’s work of this type and this work in particular gained her wide recognition, was collected by major museums, and is discussed extensively in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
