Post-1922 paintings of Nicholas Roerich

[edit]

Most of Roerich's works are marked PD-India. This is hard to verify for many of them, but we can generally assume that they were not first published in the US and that they were published in nations that were PD-50 or greater and a member of the Berne convention when the URAA restored copyrights in 1996; thus they were all returned to copyright by the URAA. If PD-India is correct, the URAA definitely returned them to copyright.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:11, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also concerned about PD-India on several of these. PD-India is used on files marked 1924, despite the fact that Wikipedia seems to have him in the US at that time. There are several files in between 1924 and 1928, when Roerich was wandering 'in Roerich's own words: "started from Sikkim through Punjab, Kashmir, Ladakh, the Karakoram Mountains, Khotan, Kashgar, Qara Shar, Urumchi, Irtysh, the Altai Mountains, the Oryot region of Mongolia, the Central Gobi, Kansu, Tsaidam, and Tibet" with a detour through Siberia to Moscow in 1926'. Country of first publication of these paintings could have been anywhere in there, with life+70 Russia being a big concern.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:24, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do not take into account that many of these works were exhibited for the first time in the Russian Empire. See {{PD-RusEmpire}}. Ю. Данилевский (talk) 06:15, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
