The film still image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a significant medium and work in Elizabeth Sher's career, after she shifted from printmaking and painting to filmmaking in the early 1980s: her satiric short films, which combined humor, parody, pop-culture vignettes, experimental graphics and pointed observation to explore the gender, sexuality, and the common experiences and stages of life of women. These works were often packaged together in fast-paced programs she called "I. V. Magazine." Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the still would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key shift and important, longstanding body of work in her career. Sher's work of this type and this work in particular are discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article, as a representative work of this phase.
