Description
Wolfgang Beltracchi is possibly the most artful forgers ever to have gotten into the game. While most would create a forgery by meticulously copying every line, shape and color in a known masterpiece, Beltracchi studied the artist then made his own original compositions imagining what the artist would have painted. In this episode, I talked to my fellow art teacher and art crime enthusiast, Emily Fiedler. I showed her two works, one by Beltracchi, and one by Campendonk. I labeled them painting A and painting B to see if she could tell the authentic from the forgery.
Look at the works: Painting A | Painting B
