Unpacking Monday's Art News
Posted by sarah
A Case of Forgery Revisited: Last week, we looked into a
Gauguin forgery
. Now, one art dealer explains (in
The Art Newspaper
,) how he himself was duped by the Greenhalgh forgeries. "In the middle of that night I woke up and realised it was almost certainly a fake. The size was a little too large for the subject matter and the painting, a still-life, was landscape- rather than portrait-shaped." Learn how to spot a fake
here
.
The Case of the Mexican Suitcase:
The New York Times
reports that three cardboard valises of negatives belonging to Robert Capa, one of the pioneers of modern war photography, has been found. Capa took the photographs during the Spanish Civil War, just before he fled Europe for America in 1939, and always believed that they were lost during the Nazi invasion. Rumors have long persisted that the negatives survived. Read about their "discovery" and learn what mystery they may finally put to rest
here
.
The Case for Using Yourself as Your Model: At the
Guardian
, the always inquisitive
Germaine Greer
asks the question: Why do so many female artists put themselves in their work, often without clothing? Here's a little excerpt that may get your argumentative juices flowing: "The feminist art historian can no more ask these questions than she can ask why most women's art is no good." Read the whole story
