[edit] Summary

Grand Mother, by Ludovic Booz

Believe this is fair use: low-resolution promotional picture used for the purpose of illustrating an artistic style.

[edit] Licensing

This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) who owns copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works.

Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright.

It is believed that the use of a picture

to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question,
to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art
or to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as copyright information on the original artwork.

I believe the use of this image falls under fair use as it is a reduced-resolution photograph of a sculpture. As such, it does not generate copyright of its own, but inherits the copyright of the original sculpture. Use of a reduced-resolution photo of the sculpture for purpose of critique of the sculptor's style and technique falls under fair use.
