In 2025, several creative works will become part of the public domain of the European Union, marking the transition of masterpieces by famous artists to the common cultural heritage. Among examples are:
- Henri Matisse, Frida Kahlo and André Derain’s paintings
- Robert Capa’s photographies
- Zofia Nalkowska, Colette, Stig Dagerman and Martin Andersen Nexo’s literary works
Once a work enters the public domain, it becomes a shared cultural resource, freely available for use and adaptation.This freedom to use and reinterpret public domain works unlocks immense creative potential, enabling innovative artistic expressions, educational materials, and cultural preservation initiatives that can help shape our shared cultural heritage.
