Painting by Laurie Hogin, Riches from the Four Great Rivers, oil on canvas, 57" x 81", 1995. The painting illustrates the early monumental work of Laurie Hogin’s career in the first half of the 1990s, when she painted highly researched canvases based on art historical tropes whose elaborate visual conceits featured surreal, mutated animal protagonists chosen for their allegorical associations and overgrown, toxic landscapes to critique contemporary cultural, social and economic issues. This work and similar works were exhibited widely in prominent venues and discussed extensively in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating the early monumental work of Laurie Hogin in the first half of the 1990s: her highly researched canvases based on art historical tropes and painted with virtuoso technique. Their elaborate visual conceits featured surreal, mutated animal protagonists chosen for their allegorical associations and overgrown, toxic landscapes that critiqued contemporary cultural, social and economic issues. 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 developmental phase in her work and its impact. Hogin’s work in this series and this particular work was extensively exhibited, discussed by prominent critics in major art journals and daily press publications that are cited in the article.
