Description |
Painting by Alice Dalton Brown, Pool: Tropical Reflections (oil on linen, 50" x 105", 1989). The image illustrates a key shift in Alice Dalton Brown's art beginning in the late 1980s, when she produced large-scale paintings of outdoor domestic scenes with a greater intensity in color and composition. These paintings often depicted dappled, often unruly foliage, brightly colored walls and intricate patterns of shadow and reflection, often in pools in sun-drenched, semi-tropical settings, as in this work. She placed a greater emphasis in these virtuosic works on the texture, variations and rhythms of foliage in contrast to other surfaces, such as man-made structures and water. This body of work was publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications and acquired by major museums. |

Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later stage in Alice Dalton Brown's body of realist images from the 1980s and 1990s: her large-scale paintings of outdoor domestic scenes that introduced a new intensity in terms of color and composition to her art. These paintings placed a greater emphasis on the texture and rhythms of foliage and the reflective surface of water in celebrations of virtuosity and the vibrancy and unruliness of nature. They depicted both northern and semi-tropical settings, often featuring dappled foliage, intricate patterns of shadow, reflections and pools, and brightly colored walls. 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 understand this early stage and body of work, which brought Dalton Brown early recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and eventual museum acquisitions. Dalton Brown's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
