Geert Jan Jansen (Waalre, 1943), forger of 'I won't say how many' works of art, is actually against fraud. “Or you have to do it well, at a level that the master himself approves of the unreal work,” says Geert Jan Jansen. It happened several times with a work by Karel Appel. Some excerpts from his book 'Magenta. Adventures of a master forger': “So if you have a cross on your forehead at Easter, you will receive a new bicycle from Mr. Pastor?” If it were charcoal it wouldn't be so difficult. One vertical line and one horizontal.
“It was my first forgery, an ashes cross,” says Jansen, who was originally irreligious and even anti-religious. “I am being held in pre-trial detention, suspected of selling paintings whose authenticity is doubted. Everyone calls me Jan van Gogh.” He continues: “Compared to the others, I was treated very privileged in the French detention center. The management immediately asked me to make a few Picassos. The trial was canceled because no victims came forward. They said laughing: you have certainly only had satisfied customers.” (source:IQ.nl)
