The highly developed culture of the society testifies to its civility. At the same time, the main task of the sphere of culture is primarily to transmit, preserve and reproduce accumulated cultural norms and values, creative achievements, and moral laws to future generations. And the succession of generations depends on how successfully the current generation was able to carry out this kind of transmission by its descendants. In order to realize the continuity of generations, it is necessary to hone the mechanisms of legal protection of cultural values expressed in works of science, literature and art. That is why attention is paid to the peculiarities of recognizing and implementing the rights of authors to works of sculpture and painting, and the opposite approaches of common and continental law countries to recognizing the rights of authors are revealed. Examples of copyright violations by sculptors and artists in the modern world are listed. Conceptual proposals that allow for comprehensive protection of authors are systematized. So, a not unimportant role in the modern world in the development of the sphere of culture is played by the legally established right to works of painting and sculpture as objects of intellectual rights. These questions are covered in the article.
