Fair use rationale for Hans Namuth :

1. This is a historically significant work that could not be conveyed in words.
2. Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
3. Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the most widely recognized work of the subject of the article.
4. This particular photo by Hans Namuth is one of the more widely used Namuth photos of Jackson Pollock
5. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work and would be unlikely to impact sales of prints or be usable as a desktop backdrop.

Fair use rationale for Jackson Pollock : This is covered under fair use because:

1. It is a limited resolution photo from which the original cannot be created
2. This particular photo by Namuth is one of the more widely used Namuth photos of Pollock
3. Namuth's photos give by far the best view of Pollock's techniques, which are covered extensively in the article
4. No free photo can be used in its place, as the subject is deceased and no free versions will likely come forward
5. Namuth's photos themselves should be discussed, as they are an integral part of understanding Pollock
6. The abilities and rights of the copyright holder are not infringed upon
