Wall Painting Copyright?
Hi,
My name is Maya and I work for a small design-build company in Southern California.
I design both exterior and interior of buildings.
I have a question regarding the Copyright of artworks and photographs.
Can I paint following lists on exterior / interior walls? I’d probably transfer the image by using a projector.
1.Einstein’s Photographs (http://www.asnsw.com/universe/alternate/AU11/Einstein.jpg)
2.Historical People’s Photographs; Martin Luther Kings, Helen Keller
3.Modern Celebrities’ Photographs; Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Beatles
4.Master’s Paintings; Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Hokusai
5.Superman’s Poster (http://www.fernbyfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Superman_1panelCUFull.jpg)
6.Modern Characters; Pokemon, Family Guy
I’ve read about copyright, public domain, mural, intellectual property, and so on….and now I’m very confused…
Thank you very much for your help 
Maya
Dear Maya,
Copyright laws vary depending on where you are. In the EU and most of the countries in the East of europe applying for membership, copyright for pictures now apply for 70 years after the death of the artist / photographer.
In the US, copyright for pictures made in 1978 or after, copyright exist for life + 70 years (or if work of corporate authorship, the shorter of 95 years from publication, or 120 years from creation. Work created before 1923 is no longer copyrighted (like Van Gogh and Da Vinci). Work created in between had about 28 years + and could be renewed up to a total of 67 years. If not so renewed, now in public domain.
So overall, the masters paintings you mention are all copyright free. Einsteins picture would depend on when it was taken (Anything before 1943 should be ok. If after 1943 would depend on whether it is still copyrighted). Comic characters and celebrity photos would normally be copyrighted. So in these cases it would be best to check with the holder of the copyright.
