Notes
  • This work is a gouache by Charlotte Salomon, part of her principal work Life? or Theatre?. It is placed by editors towards the end of Act 2 of the Prelude. It depicts the fictional Charlotte Kann at work after taking drawing lessons following a discouraging start that had seen her fail her first test for admission to the Academy of Arts. She subsequently gains admission (Felstiner pp. 36-9). Salomon herself attended the Vereinigte Staatsschulen für freie und angewandte Kunst (United State Schools for Pure and Applied Arts) in Berlin from 1936 to 1938 on the strength of the Gesetz gegen die Überfüllung deutscher Schulen und Hochschulen (Law Against Overfilling the German Schools and Colleges), which provided that up to 1.5% of the student body might be of Jewish origin if their fathers had served at the front in the First World War (Salomon's father had been a military doctor). But by Summer 1938 it became too dangerous for Charlotte to attend in case her Jewish backgound was discovered and she did not return, despite winning a prize (Fischer-Defoy and Belinfante, pp. 17-21).
  • There is no text, music or transparency associated with this gouache. For the Jewish Historical Museum interactive page use this link.
  • Commentaries:
    • Mary Felstiner, Salomon's principal biographer, notes that the chair, shoes, fruits, and sunflowers make the picture a homage to Vincent van Gogh, who himself had faced a discouraging start to his career. (p. 37).
    • Judith Belinfante notes that Salomon scribbled a comment in pencil (at JHM 4918?): "That which van Gogh attained later in life, ... a brushstroke of unprecedented lightness, which unfortunately seems to have a distinctly pathological side, I have attained already" (Herzberg, viii). Felstiner remarks that van Gogh is the only artist Salomon mentions in her notes (p. 66).

  • 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 both in the US and abroad 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 the 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.
