[edit] Fair use rationale

This image is of a drawing, painting, print, or other two-dimensional work of art, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the artist who produced the image, the person who commissioned the work, or the heirs thereof. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of works of art

for critical commentary on
- the work in question,
- the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or
- the school to which the artist belongs
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Usage in Craig Thompson

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hiding Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low quality copy of a work of art
It does not limit the artist's rights to sell the image or reproduce it commercially in any way;
Copies could not be made to reproduce the image illegally in any way;
The image is significant because it is a self portrait and thus not only illustrates the style of the artist, but also the appearance;
The image is also significant because the artist is famous for producing a work of autobiography, Blankets. Thus the image helps demonstrate that fact, being a self-portrait;
The image depicts Thompson in the process of creating an image related to his work, thus helping to illustrate his occupation.

This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. The result was to Keep the image, as no adequate free-licensed image exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this image at the time deletion was considered. However, this image may be replaceable by free images in other contexts, and in such cases the free image must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the image talk page.
