Copyright gets destroyed after the artist is dead + 70 years, then it is public domain.
So it is either:
Use public domain works
Use the artists work but ask for permission or pay license
Change the laws on copyright length. (how many lawyers can you pay for?)
Wait for the work to enter in the public domain (unlikely anyone will do this for any work made today)
