J. Paul Getty - The Liberation of Masterpieces as Open Content
The J. Paul Getty Museum has initiated an Open Content Program to share, freely and without restriction, as many of the Getty’s digital resources as possible.
A first sharing of 4,600 high-resolution images of the Museum’s collection, including many masterworks, has just been made available and all are free to use, modify, and publish for any purpose.
In a brilliant stroke, the Getty Museum has liberated one of the top collections of art in the world not just for access but for use. The museum is literally “beaming up” the great works
I need some advice if anyone's willing to help, There's some images on DA that are perfect for this piece I am working on, the images aren't specified as stock so I have tried to contact the image owners to seek permission. There has been no answer from any contact attempts at their profiles here or through any links they have listed on their pages. I've tried searching for alternates but have found literally nothing else suitable. Does this mean, among other things, the piece cannot be published to DA/ my own site (I attach full credits wherever I publish) regardless of what I have done to seek permission. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
