| Description = Painting by Joanna Pousette-Dart, Untitled, Black and White (acrylic on canvas, 9' x 12', 1993–7. Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). The image illustrates a key mid-career period and shift in direction in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1990s, when she was first inspired by her perceptions of space, light and form in the American Southwest to abandon painting within a rectangular format and turned to shaped canvasses. These works featured delicately balanced diptychs of irregular curved and angular shaped canvasses that interlock like puzzle pieces. This particular image is both a representative and transitional work of this period, with its two curved-side-down hemispheres, thickly painted grounds and use of Japanese calligraphy-like gesture. This work and the series of works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

| Purpose = The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key earlier period and body of work in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1990s, when she turned to what would become her signature shaped-canvas format after being inspired by the space, light and form of the American Southwestern landscape. These first shaped canvasses featured delicately balanced diptychs of irregular curved and angular shaped canvasses (often hemispheres) that interlock like puzzle pieces, Japanese calligraphy-like gesture, delicate washes and variations in hue and tone, and paint handling and palettes that were less expressionistic than her previous work. 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 a key developmental phase in her art, which heralded her future direction and brought new recognition from art journals, daily press publications, and museums. Pousette-Dart's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
