Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Portrait photograph of American experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage (1933–2003).
Date
English: First published 1976.
Source
English: *Original source: First published on the cover of the program to Stan Brakhage: A Retrospective, an exhibition at the 1976 Los Angeles International Film Exposition (Filmex). See the cover at Worthpoint here or here.
Author
English: Photograph by Friedl Kubelka. Though the photo was not attributed in the Filmex '76 program, it was later used on the cover of Kubelka's 2006 book Portraits of American Independent Filmmakers 1974–1981, confirming its authorship.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: No permission is required for two reasons:
  1. First, the photo is a mechanical scan/photocopy of the original cover and does not qualify for independent copyright protection.
  2. Second, the portrait was first published in the United States prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. The program for Stan Brakhage: A Retrospective did not carry any copyright notice whatsoever, and as such its entire contents—including the cover photo—entered the public domain upon publication. The entire text contents of program can be inspected online here, via the CineFiles Film Document Database at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, with the exception of the cover image (which can be seen via the links above).

Keep in mind that the pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:

  1. "The symbol © or the word 'Copyright' or the abbreviation 'Copr.' or an acceptable variant such as "(c)";
  2. "The year of first publication for the work"; and
  3. "The name of the copyright owner, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner."
If just one of these elements is omitted, the work is deemed to be published without notice and is not eligible for copyright protection. The program does name its year of publication, 1976, and the names of its publisher and several contributors, but neither the word "copyright" nor any acceptable variant appear.

Licensing

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art.
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
