Kaplan died 1980, copyright not yet expired, why "free use"? --Ahellwig 21:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I own this painting myself and am perfectly prepared to release its image. I don't know what the appropriate copyright tag to use is - so i am trying the ex-USSR one. If anyone knows different/better please advise. --Smerus 07:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
