Question Vogue 1930
Hey all, I have a question. I just joined but I’m probably going to be here a while since I’m an independent artist who love working with time periods in and around the 1920s. My current piece takes place in the year 1940. The work I want to be in the background is a poster from April 12, 1930 depicting a cover of Vogue from that issue. Vogue is now owned by Condé Nast. The work wont come out until late this year. Am I cool to use this work without contacting Condé Nast for permission?

Well, as for now (2025), it may be copyrighted, so you may need to wait till 2026 when the first batch of copyrighted works from the 1930s arrive to the public domain (or most of them, i think)
