Impact of Copyright Expiry on Mondriaan’s Art

Colorful puzzle box featuring scenes inspired by Piet Mondrian, showcasing various characters interacting in art galleries, with bright illustrations and a playful theme.

This is the result when the copyright expires after 70 years from the artist’s death in the Netherlands. The concept of justice in this scenario is questionable to me. While it allows publishers to offer more affordable books on the artist, it also opens the door for the production of less serious and informative works without the artist’s consent.

of course www.ftn-books.com has a lot of publications on Piet Mondriaan available.
