Notes
  • This work is the last of the transparent overlays in Charlotte Salomon's principal work Life? or Theatre?. Editors place it between the final two pages of theEpilogue section. For the Jewish Historical Museum interactive page use this link.
  • The page immediately preceding is the verso of four pages of densely packed text, carried on both sides, that conclude the epilogue. The final gouache depicts the fictional Charlotte Kann (representing Salomon herself) kneeling before the sea with brush and paper in her hand and the words Life or Theater inscribed on her back.
The concluding words of the epilogue, quoting ideas of Alfred Wolfsohn, Salomon's first love represented by Amadeus Daberlohn in the work, are as follows:
...und sie sah - mit wachgeträumten Augen all die Schönheit um sich her - sah das Meer spürte die Sonne und wusste: sie musste für eine Zeit von der menschlichen Oberfläche verschwinden und dafür alle Opfer bringen - - - um sich aus der Tiefe ihre Welt neu zu schaffen
Und dabei entstand
das Leben oder das Theater???
... And with dream awakened eyes she saw all the beauty around her, saw the sea, felt the sun, and knew she had to vanish for a while from the human surface and make every sacrifice in order to create her world anew out of the depths.
And from that came
Life or Theater???

  • The bulk of Charlotte Salomon's work was published for the purposes of US law when her estate gifted her work to the Charlotte Salomon Foundation at the Joods Historisch Museum in 1971. If follows that the bulk of her work only enters the Public Domain in the US 95 years later at the end of 2066. In addition an earlier tranche of some 80 gouaches published in 1963 entered the Public Domain in the US in 1992 because their copyright was not renewed. However these gouaches may have had their copyright restored under the terms of Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) depending on whether their original publication in the US coincided or not with their publication abroad. It is not Commons policy to host URAA restored works.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
Copyrighted in the U.S. This work may not be in the public domain in the United States because its U.S. copyright was restored by the URAA as it was still copyrighted in its source country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 in most cases but see Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights for details). In most cases, it is copyrighted in the U.S. until 95 years after the year in which it was initially published (exceptions are works published after 1977; see Commons:Hirtle chart). This template may not be used for files uploaded after 1 March 2012.

If you are the copyright holder of this file, and do not wish to have it hosted on Commons, please contact our designated agent or nominate the file for deletion, explaining the situation.
