Most modern works of art are under copyright. The artist or his/her estate has disallowed the free use of these images on the web and the cost of licensing cannot be recouped by me. For some artists I have provided links to images on other web sites or to the printfinders catalog. If there are any public-spirited, wealthy art lovers out there who would like to make an exceedingly generous gesture by paying for the licensing fees necessary to put modern images online for the world to enjoy, please contact me via the email link below. Corporate sponsorship of this expense would be welcomed as well, and rewarded with prominent acknowledgement. |
