[pd-discuss] Public Domain Day 2012

Mon Nov 14 20:38:14 UTC 2011

I would add to Juan Carlos list, George Minne who is a great Belgian 
sculptor (close to Rodin), who also died in 1941.  consider doing a 
Public Domain day in Belgium, maybe around his work and in collaboration 
with an art museum. I will tell you more about it.
The remark about Tagore is really interesting as it shows that the 
public domain is not what we think it is in our countries....
