Copyright of the Shostakovich portrait Image:Shostakovichportrait.jpg. edit

Why do you think, the portrait is PD? According to the article the portrait is painted in 1976, three years after the 1973 needed for sovietpd. Maybe the date is wrong (Shostakovich died in 1975)? Otherwise we have to delete the Shostakovich portrait and find something exponated before 1973.



Dear Mr. Bakharev,

As far as I know this image is a public domain and you can see it all over the internet (at least Russian and CIS websites) without any reference to a copyright holder. As for the date of the portrait, it was completed after Shostakovich died, in 1976, as the great composer was fatally ill when he posed for the portrait. So the date is correct. If you speak Russian, you can also check this article for more details on this subject:

If you think that this image cannot be used due to copyright issues, then we can replace it with some other Salahov’s work, e.g. portrait of Kara Karayev (completed before 1973). But I think Shostakovich’s portrait is one of the best Salahov’s portraits and well illustrates his style of painting, so I would prefer to keep it. Thank you.
