"Vertumnus And Pomona" By Boucher
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Francois Boucher's artwork is particularly intriguing due in great part to the social and political changes that were occurring during this time period, a metamorphosis Boucher creatively adapted into his paintings. Restrictive devices that heretofore kept a tight leash on what and how artists could craft their talents all but disappeared during this European rebirth, with the likes of Boucher taking every opportunity to display a much more elaborate, whimsical and even daring perspective. The royal court appreciated his unique style as well, having purchased and exhibited several of his pieces. Vertumnus and Pomona oil on canvas from 1757 is a good example of how the French artist establishes a more playful attitude during this era. Bibliography lists 1 source.

'Popeye is Not a Mickey Mouse Affair'
[ send me this paper ]
Arguments have existed suggesting that fictional characters cannot be copyrighted because they are an abstraction of the minds of the viewer and, therefore, can have no tangible existence outside the original work. Yet it is now recognized that both Popeye and Mickey Mouse receive copyright protection on the basis that they were sufficiently developed to command protection. This 12 page paper considers the issue of copyright laws as they have developed in Japan and reflects upon the notion that fictional characters like Mickey Mouse and Popeye have been 'developed sufficiently to command protection.'
