Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Corinne Michelle West
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

"West’s complex canvas is not content merely to represent symbolically the spiritual implications of nuclear physics... it’s apparent that the artist is not attempting to distill from detonation a lyricism of rhythm or harsh harmonies from explosive chaos. These are actual abrasions. Real violence. There is a brutal authenticity to West’s painting...: and that's only the half of it

Not replaceable with
free media because (WP:NFCC#1) 		Any derivative work based upon the artwork would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Well it's only used in the one article, once. The robot will trim it to small size
Respect for
commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) 		The use of a low resolution image of the artwork will not impact the commercial viability of the art.
