 :You seem to have misunderstood copyright law. In the United States, the rule is that the paintings are out of copyright if they were published before 1923. If they were not published before 1923, the paintings are copyrighted in the United States until 95 years after the paintings were first published. All paintings made in 1923 or later are still protected by copyright in the United States. Earlier paintings may be in the public domain if they have been published. If you are arguing that a painting was "published" because it was exhibited at an art gallery or museum, you need to show that the exhibition was open to the general public and that there was no ban on photography at the exhibition, see s:American Tobacco Co. v. Werckmeister. I have no idea how to find out if a museum allowed photography or not a hundred years ago. In Spain, all of the paintings enter the public domain in 2030 (80 years after the death of the painter). 
 :You are claiming that the copyright to the paintings was transferred between different people multiple times and that the copyright currently is held by a committee. If that is the case, you need to send written proof to OTRS that the committee is the current legal copyright holder and that you have the right to represent the committee. You also need to make sure that any paintings which were not published before 1923 have been licensed under a free licence. See WP:CONSENT for instructions.   21:11
