Mark Landis has been referred to as one of the vital prolific artwork forgers in US historical past. His spectacular physique of labor spans thirty years, overlaying a variety of portray types and intervals that features fifteenth Century Icons, Picasso, and even Walt Disney. And whereas the copies may fetch spectacular sums on the open market, Landis is not in it for cash. Posing as a philanthropic donor, a grieving executor of a member of the family’s will, and most just lately as a Jesuit priest, Landis has given away a whole bunch of works over time to a staggering record of establishments throughout the USA. However after duping Matthew Leininger, a tenacious registrar who in the end discovers the decades-long ruse and units out to reveal his philanthropic escapades to the artwork world, Landis should confront his personal legacy and a refrain of museum professionals clamoring for him to cease. ART AND CRAFT begins out as a cat-and-mouse artwork caper, rooted in questions of authorship and authenticity — however what emerges is an intimate story of obsession and the common want for group, appreciation, and goal.
