Imitation is the sincerous form of flattery! <BR/>The Louvre gives out passes to artist to copy paintings in their galleries.<BR/>You may sell these creations, but you may NOT sell them as originals. Enjoy your REPRODUCTION... it's lovely... my house is FILLED with Matisse reproductions!<BR/>Thank you for visiting my site... nice to meet you!<BR/>FifiFifi Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186646442542919342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781877280925255483.post-72147792279920274512008-09-01T09:48:00.000-07:002008-09-01T09:48:00.000-07:00This post hits home to me as my father is one of t...This post hits home to me as my father is one of the great art forger's of the last century. His name is David Stein. Look him up on wikipedia. Great job on the painting and thanks for the comment.<BR/><BR/>P.S. It's ethical as long as you don't sign his name ( just sign your name and "in the style of Cezanne" right next to it. Trust me I know all about it :)Project Ecoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381589791149748134noreply@blogger.com
