| Description |
Photograph by Eileen Cowin, (Family Docudrama, Photograph, 20" x 24", 1980–3). The photograph illustrates a key period in Eileen Cowin’s work in the 1980s, when she created what many consider her first mature body of work, the "Family Docudrama" series, gaining further national attention notice for work associated with the Pictures Generation, and whose constructed, cinematic scenes anticipated the genre of mise-en-scène photography. This work and similar works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues, collected by major museums, and discussed by art critics and press in national art and news publications. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key mature period in Eileen Cowin's career: her 1980s "Family Docudrama" series, which depicted realistically staged domestic moments that critics situated in a liminal space between soap opera and conceptual art. Shot in Cowin's home and cast with herself and family, these tableaux evoked both kitchen-sink, familial intimacy and postmodern artifice as they explored marital, parental, sibling and home/work tensions. 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 this key stage in her practice, which increased her level of national attention, and its impact. Cowin’s work of this type and this work in particular gained her wide recognition, was collected by major museums, and is discussed extensively in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article. |
