: My daughter is doing a high school english paper on Jacob Lawrence and needs to attach a "quality reproduction" of the piece of work she has selected to write about. Is it a violation of copywrite laws to Xerox copy, in color, the picture of the painting from a book?

: Thanks for your help.
Sorry I missed on the last reply. Infringment is one thing enforcement is another. There is a doctrine of fair use. I don't think it applies here. You might also ask for permission to use. The chance of being sued is small even though the liability seems clear. The penalties can be high but the court would problabely be sympathetic if this were were not a commercial use.
