You cannot copy it out of the book like on a copy machine, but yes, you can paint your own version of it and display it.
My husband owns an art school and they have people paint their own renditions of photos and other paintings all the time. It is not against the law

of course you can, it is a painting of a photo, you can even sell it, but not with the exact title, and author name. A photo-copy of a photo is different there you cant, if protected by copyright.

you can
where problems might occur is in the "garage sale ten years later" department
(actually copyright laws are complex and differ from country to country, particularly if your country has not signed onto the intellectual property conventions. the only way to get a clear and responsible answer is to consult your country's website - government/ministry of culture or whoever looks after it in your case - and read up on it; if necessary, contact the appropriate section and they will answer you but be specific.)
