public domain art

Re: [spiers] public domain art

I believe the modified image still belongs to the artist. Here is a website
that has some basic information on how artists can maintain their copywrite
protection of their work:

Hope this helps.

How does someone own an image of French or Russian art
of the 1900's or even let's say some one older like
Van Gogh and assume he has no decendents if I buy a
poster and have a graphic artists make a replica the
image is now mine isn't it???
