Rights and reproductions

György Rauscher died in 1930, so his paintings, drawings, watercolours, and lithographs are in the public domain. Reproductions of those works may be used freely. Photographs of the works, of the artist, and of related sites are a separate matter and carry their own rights; this page sets out how each category is handled and how to request use. Image-rights questions go to the contact form. The archive is stewarded by Daniel Rauscher-Peleg (see /about).

Per-image rights

Every image on the archive carries a short credit caption beneath it that names its source. Three categories apply:

1. The artworks themselves. Reproductions of Rauscher’s own works are in the public domain (the artist died in 1930). Where the credit names a source, it does so as a courtesy and for documentation; the underlying work is not under copyright.
2. Institutional reproductions and third-party photographs. Photographs commissioned or held by museums and archives, the 1935 installation photographs, and present-day photographs of works or places carry their own copyright. They are credited to their source (for example “BTK MTI Adattár”), and reuse should be cleared with that rights-holder, not with this archive.
3. Family-held images. Photographs from the Rauscher family archive are credited “Rauscher family archive” or to the named family photographer. Requests to reuse them go through the contact form.

Requesting use

To request use of an image, or to ask which category an image falls into, use the contact form. The archive aims to reply promptly.

Takedown

If you hold rights in an image published here and wish it removed or recredited, write us through the contact form with the page URL and the image.

In brief

The artworks reproduced here are in the public domain, and the archive claims no new rights over those reproductions, so they may be reused freely. In-copyright photographs are published with credit to their source; any rights-holder with a concern can raise it through the contact form.
