Description

Own an "authentic forgery" by Mark Landis, whose forgeries are owned by dozens of museums throughout the country... and could be haning on your wall too! Landis is known to many as the most prolific art forger who never committed a crime. Don't miss this opportunity to own your own skillfully copied oil painting of a work by Renoir, signed by Mark Landis, plus a DVD of the award-winning acclaimed documentary, ART AND CRAFT.


This still life of three apples originally painted by Renoir has been copied onto a 9x12 board by Mark Landis. His impressive body of work spans thirty years, covering a wide range of painting styles and periods. While the copies could fetch impressive sums on the open market and are in many museums around the country, Landis is not interested in money and has been gifting his work for years. Posing as a philanthropic donor, Landis has given away hundreds of paintings to institutions all over the United States. His work and history are now on the screen in a documentary movie organized and directed by Jennifer Grausman, a Belvoir alumnae and her associates. 


A copy of  Art and Craft, which was a finalist in its field for the Oscar and has been shown in NYC , in Paris, around the country is now available on TV.A copy of the movie is included with this painting.
