File:Judy Ledgerwood Mid-Day 2010.tif

Painting by Judy Ledgerwood, Mid-Day (oil on canvas, 60" x 60", 2010). The painting illustrates a later stage of Judy Ledgerwood's work in the 2010s, when she introduced a new body of feminist-inflected, often smaller, simplified paintings featuring more thickly painted, iconic cruciform arrangements of circles and schematized floral shapes that critics suggested recalled Warhol's flower prints. This work and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues in the U.S. and internationally, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later stage and unique body of work in Judy Ledgerwood's career: her new feminist-inflected paintings of the 2010s which featured more thickly painted, iconic cruciform arrangements of circles and schematized floral shapes that critics suggested recalled Warhol's flower prints. These works often foreground themes of imperfection and irregularity, process and messiness, humor and female sexuality, and challenge notions of the sublime and beautiful. 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 later body work. Ledgerwood's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
