The artist's talent and significance cannot be understood without at least one image of her work. This artist produced material for some fifty years. More than one image is necessary to understand her growth and development as an artist. The minimal number of items to convey the artist's talent would can reasonably be interpreted as one per active decade of her artistic career. The most prolific or significant decades of an artist's activity can reasonably be expected to be represented by two or more images. Far from replacing the original market, dispersal of a low-res image like this is more likely to enhance the artist's reputation before the public. Additionally, this image allows the artist to be understood in historical context. This image significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
