| Description |
Photograph by Ken Gonzales-Day, Nightfall II ("Searching for California Hang Trees Series" series, 2007). The image illustrates a key, distinct body of work in Ken Gonzales-Day's career in the 2000s, his "Hang Trees " project, in which he sought to visit and photograph the more than 300 California lynching sites that he uncovered in earlier research. The series' images, such as this one, some actual sites and some approximations, feature stark, large-scale color portraits of trees, often set against flat, black backgrounds. This work and related works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in prominent art and daily press publications, and displayed and acquired by major institutions. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key, distinct body of work in Ken Gonzales-Day's career in the 2000s: his "Hang Trees " project, in which he sought to visit and photograph the more than 300 California lynching sites that he uncovered in earlier research, and includes a self-guided walking tour of lynching sites in downtown Los Angeles. The series' images, such as this one—some actual sites and some approximations, feature stark, large-scale color portraits of trees, often set against flat, black backgrounds, and range from quietly beautiful to ordinary suburban to vaguely ominous look critically at landscape photography and the erasure of uncomfortable legacies within seemingly pastoral locales. 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 distinct, major and long-running project (2002–14) in his career, which brought major recognition from prominent art journals, daily press publications, and institutions. Gonzales-Day's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
