Hi John,


Do you know of an easy way to learn whether or not certain art is

public domain or not? Specifically, I'm considering Russian and

French art early 1900s.


Thank you in advance,

renee


they don't allow pictures in museums, among other reasons, because your
pictures is your property. image owners control access to the image, and then
sell
copies of the image to which they control access.

Approach this problem another way... find out who holds the image, and then
ask for a license to replicate it... just pay a royalty...

John
