the artist died in 1953, how this could be in public domain? Catfisheye (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- As a U.S. artist, this meets {{PD-US}} I think. -- Prince Kassad (talk) 09:11, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Only if it is proved that it has been published before 1923, but at the moment it is not even sure, if it has been painted before. Catfisheye (talk) 11:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- I personally own all of the Cordelia Wilson paintings in the article (and at WikiCommons), I personally took all of the photos, and personally uploaded them. All of the paintings that Cordelia Wilson made of the American Southwest that I own were painted before 1920 and exhibited (published). I did not include any painting by Cordelia Wilson owned by museums, or those painted after 1920 that I possess. --- By the way, after her only daughter died, there were, and are, no heirs and there is no estate. --- The paintings by Cordelia Wilson came to me from an aunt, who lived with her at the end. --- Please tell me what kind of proof you need other than my word. (I guarantee nothing else exists.) Please let me know. Bien amicalement, Charvex (talk) 07:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
KeepThis appears to be a careful editor who understands the rules. I am inclined to believe him. By the way, the fact that she left no heirs is not relevant to the discussion. There still could be copyright, which would have escheated to the state. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:40, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
