Summary
A single photographed Russell Patterson scene design created for Paramount's film Give Me a Sailor (1938).

Fair use for Russell Patterson
Though this image, which I have myself imaged from the original art for the Russell Patterson scene design, is probably © Paramount Pictures or possibly © to Patterson's heirs, its use here is regardless covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) The image specifically illustrates an educational article about the design's artist; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the Patterson art covered in the critical commentary, and shows his distinctively energetic style. Therefore the image substantially improves the educational value of the article.
 * 2) The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual artist, and is indicative of the style for which he is renowned.
 * 3) It is of much lower resolution than the original, and only one illo is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
 * 4) It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the work referenced in the article, because, as he was notable as a commercial artist, the whole body of Patterson's commercial work under discussion in this section of the article is © to the respective publishers.
