My father in-law painted the image for the cover and back page.
It is a copy of Picasso's, 'the guitarist'. I do not know the actual
name.
Is it legal to have this copy of the painting on the front cover?
I am not a lawyer but I think it is fine to use it in that way. It was
painted in 1903 and has been reproduced in many media countless times.
Must
be public domain.
I don't know, but I know that I asked a public museum recently about
using one of their much older paintings for a CD cover, and they asked
for a very substancial fee, so I don't think it is that easy.
I think the difference is that his father is making a painted copy. He could
have used any of hundreds of secondary sources for this.
Each of which may well be copyrighted.
