| Description = Painting by Joanna Pousette-Dart, Untitled diptych (acrylic on canvas, 5' x 8', 1988–9). The image illustrates an earlier period and body of work in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1980s, after she shifted toward medium-to-large, nocturnal diptychs (in this case) and polyptychs with stacks or rows of panels that employ layered, painterly passages and a recurrent gestural device—bright, calligraphic, vertical marks that critics likened to primitive symbols alluding to primal experiences; these forms vaguely intimate figure and landscape in contrast to the work's anti-illusionistic abstraction. This series of work has 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 an earlier period and body of work in Joanna Pousette-Dart's career in the 1980s: her shift to medium-to-large, nocturnal diptychs and polyptychs with stacks or rows of panels, which drew on her encounters with medieval frescoes and mosaics and early Mozarabic manuscripts (e.g., her "Beatus" series, 1985–9, named for an eighth-century monk and manuscript author). The paintings are unified by layered, painterly passages alternately blur, deny, or reinforce their structures and a recurrent gestural device—bright, calligraphic, vertical marks that critics likened to primitive symbols alluding to primal experiences—that suggest figuration and landscape in contrast to the work's abstraction. 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 period in her work, which brought ongoing 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.

| Replaceability = There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Joanna Pousette-Dart, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
