[edit] Summary

Oil painting "Tragic Prelude" (1938-40) by John Steuart Curry (1897-1946).

Fair use rationale:

This is a significant work that could not be conveyed in words.
There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement available.
Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the subject, or the work of the subject, of the article(s).
The image is a low resolution copy of the original work of such low quality that it would be unlikely to impact sales of the work.

Although this photo is of a panorama taken in a public space (the Kansas State Capitol), it does not appear that Freedom of Panorama applies.
