Chess revolution
I nominate this image because this artwork is a best illustration of how so called geopolitics goes now days. I feel that image was meant to represent the common mans reaction to the “game theory” which is saying that top ranking politicians are a players who use rest of humanity, and even whole countries as a pieces in the endless chess game. Image shows what might happen if this "game" goes too far. Artists had put himself at the rioting pieces side, but I also know people who associate themselves with a players and are pretty scared by the painting .. Image was painted by Dutch/Georgian artist (and my friend) Nick Gabrichidze at 2003-2004 and will be on display at his upcoming public art project in Holland Casino Amsterdam (opens July 27-28).. Image is used in the articles about Surrealism and Nick Gabrichidze as far as I know.. Was uploaded by Gabrichidze . - Knutson 21:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Nominate and support. First vote here - Knutson 21:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Its a rather nice illustration, but I'm afraid "Fair use" images are inelligible for Featured Picture Candidates, as described at the head of the page. However, with the permission of the artist, it is possible to release a particular photograph of a painting under GFDL, whilst the artist retains the copyright on the original painting. See for example Greencastle Harbour. -- Solipsist 22:01, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * The license has now improved, but the restriction 'for use at wikipedia.org only' effectively still prevents it from being GFDL. -- Solipsist 15:32, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This does not add significantly to the Surrealism, where the image should be removed IMHO, because Nick Gabrichidze is not a very well known artist (such an article should have images of the most famous and exemplary surrealist paintings). Note also that there's currently a vote for deletion on Nick Gabrichidze (I'm ambivalent on that one). Junes 09:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * oppose - "Unauthorised reproducion is prohibited." Not GFDL compatible. Kaldari 22:47, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose likely copyvio. Also, WP:VAIN, and user is presently edit warring to get this and similar art included in a number of inappropriate places. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 10:24, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
