Description |
Painting by John Moore, Erie Evening (oil on canvas, 72" x 62", 1996). The image illustrates a key early body of work in realist painter John Moore's career extending from the late 1970s to the 2020s, when he produced large-scale realist cityscapes that scrutinize and capture the complexity of urban life through believable, but composited compositions. This image is characteristic, combining a sprawling panoramic view with deep space and industrial, residential and natural elements to create an image that contemplates the piecemeal development of urban space and the co-existence of such worlds. 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, longstanding body of work in the realist painter John Moore's career beginning in the late 1970s: his cityscapes, which scrutinize and celebrate the complexity of urban life—its piecemeal development, sense of mobility and visual diversity—while evoking a prosaic world of work, daily routine and history. The highly detailed nature of Moore's work evokes realism but diverges from approaches such as photorealism in its social concern, painterly handling and composite compositions, which distill direct observation, sketches, memories and photographs of multiple sites and views into re-imagined but believable scenes. His cityscapes draw from views of Boston, Philadelphia, Barcelona and Tel Aviv, among other cities, and range from vertiginous scenes whose high horizon lines and deep space recalled old-master landscapes to tighter, street-level depictions mixing urban and suburban elements. 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 understand this key body of work, which brought Moore ongoing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and museum acquisitions. Moore's work of this type is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
