Image:Chicks-from-avignon.jpg. Painted in 1907, but PD-US is determined by publication, not creation. No evidence of first publication. It's cceptable for fair use in some of the articles it's in, but needs to be removed from others, and have a rationale written. Chick Bowen 05:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- First released to critics at an art exhibit in 1916. That should satisfy your bloodlust. Nardman1 14:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Display is not publication, sorry. Publication legally means the distribution of multiple copies; see s:Copyright Act of 1976. And there's no need to question my motives; I'm just trying to get it right. Chick Bowen 18:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Demoiselles d’Avignon was first reproduced in the Architectural Record of May 1910.[1][2][3] If that is insufficient, I think this is a excellent candidate for the fair use {{art}} tag. Another image of Demoiselles d’Avignon on WP (Image:Les_Demoiselles_d'Avignon.jpg) took that approach. Picasso's estate is notoriously litigious, so a decent fair use claim is likely to be safer than attempting to claim it's in the public domain. —RP88 09:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Good research, but I'm afraid that it may not be good enough. The reproduction in the Architectural Record was labelled as a "Study". The Picasso estate has filed "Notices of Intent to Enforce" (NIEs) at the U.S. Copyright Office for three studies on "Demoiselles d'Avignon"[4] and on the final painting itself.[5] These NIEs enable them to enforce their copyrights in the U.S., which apparently were restored under the URAA. Assume all Picasso paintings are copyrighted. Lupo 10:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm not the uploader, but per the discussion here, I've switched the license from PD to Fair Use and made a fair use claim for the articles for which I believe it is acceptable for fair use. —RP88 20:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        
        I've removed Image:Chicks-from-avignon.jpg from the remaining pages on which it appeared in which no reasonable fair use claim could be made. —RP88 09:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
