artbull-images-and-permissions
Use to plan and execute the illustration, copyright-permission, and reproduction-quality workflow for an Art Bulletin article — the distinctive, slow, author-funded task of art-historical publishing. The author secures and pays for rights and supplies high-resolution images. Manages the image workflow; it does not grant rights or waive fees.
