I am sorry but we will have to delete these photos because they depict artworks by Frida Kahlo, whose copyright has not yet expired.

the paintings are the minimis in this image File:Living Room at Robert Brady Museum.jpg El Nuevo Doge (talk) 03:54, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @El Nuevo Doge, can you explain (1) why a museum that charges a fee to enter is a "public place" under Mexican copyright law, (2) why works of folklore are ineligible for copyright, and (3) how you find that these works were not made by Frida Kahlo? Also, can you explain (4) how the paintings in the living room photo are the minimis? Thank you, Gnom (talk) 08:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(1) Mexican law says Reproduction, communication, and distribution by means of drawings, paintings, photographs, and audiovisual means of works visible from public places, this refers to public places in general, charging a fee does not make a public place not public, also we have a lot of images of murals from the interior of the Palacio de Bellas Artes Category:Murals by Diego Rivera in the Palacio de Bellas Artes so this is clearly allowed on Wikimedia Commons.
(2) Works of folklore are common property.
(3) This website https://reunido.uniovi.es/index.php/RM/article/view/13207 says that Diego Rivera bought the crafts from unknown artisans so they are in the public domain in Mexico.
(4) The focus of the image is the entire living room but not on any individual painting. El Nuevo Doge (talk) 00:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding (1), we simply do not have a source for the claim that a museum charging a fee to enter is a "public place" in the sense of Mexican copyright law.
Regarding (2) and (3), that is indeed very much helpful, so are these not Kahlo's works? We should then probably indeed treat these as anonymous works, which are, curiously, free to use under Mexican copyright law.
Regarding (4), the paintings are at least so much within the focus of the image that the file description explicitly talks about it... Gnom (talk) 10:22, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
