hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Prima ristampa dell'edizione originale, pubblicata lo stesso anno (1997) - Volume in copertina rigida con sovraccoperta, xvii-200 pagine con alcune figure in nero nel testo e tavole a colori fuori testo. Tenue alone giallo ai margini delle carte, peraltro copia in ottimo stato; non comune -- The London art world was plunged into turmoil when it was revealed, in 1980, that many drawings previously attributed to artists as varied as Brueghel, Piranesi, Pontormo, Corot and Augustus John were in fact the work of the English artist Eric Hebborn (1934-1996). At a stroke, Hebborn was elevated to that select band of the very greatest art forgers, alongside Tom Keating and Van Meegeren. Hebborn had fooled the experts, time and again, into making attributions more to do with anticipated monetary values than artistic integrity or scholarship. It was a scandal, and Hebborn relished it; yet despite his success as a forger, he was never arrested or even interrogated. Here in "The Art Forger's Handbook" is the artist's masterclass in the art of faking Old Masters. Eric Hebborn unpacks the secrets of his techniques, revealing in the process a truly profound knowledge of the great draughtsmen artists of the past. Inks, papers, pens, colours, signatures, all are explained, providing a rare understanding of how great artists work. Much more than this, however, there is a wonderfully entertaining and often outrageous speculation about the nature of art, truth and value - with advice on how to stay on the right side of the law - all by a master of genius, culture and charm.…

Delves into this subject with fresh ideas and thoughts, a good read. I am an artist, I've read this book twice. It is the best book on creating the look of old master works. Easy page turner, full of brilliant ideas and references. With recipes and tips from vaccum dust to stripping old furniture for it's wood panels, to recipes for tempera, ink, oil paints, size, glue, varnish, as well as ways in which to pass off newly created works as aged relics. If you're an established artist or just a beginner, this is a "must have" book for all those interested in drawing and painting [oil and tempera]. Many of Hebborn's works have gone unquestioned as orginals. This is the follow up to his autobiography "Drawn to Trouble: Teh Forging of an Artist". This books is scarce, because the information it gives is top secret, the book comes with a disclaimer: All the art techniques and practices described in this book are for imformation only and should not be undertaken without full regard to their legal consequence. The legal views expressed in this book are those of an art forger and not a lawyer and readers should proceed with utmost caution. -- Simply brilliant work. -- About the author: Eric Hebborn was born in the London suburb of South Kensington to a Cockney family in 1934, although his mother was a gypsy. According to his autobiography, his mother beat him constantly as a child. At the age of eight, he states that he set fire to his school and was sent to Longmoor reformatory in Harold Wood, although his sister Rosemary disputes this.[citation needed] Teachers encouraged his painting talent and he became connected to the Maldon Art Club, where he first exhibited at the age of 15. Hebborn attended Chelmsford Art School and Walthamstow Art School before attending the Royal Academy. He flourished at the Academy, winning the Hacker Portrait prize and the Silver Award, and the Rome Scholarship in Engraving, a two year scholarship to the British School at Rome in 1959.[1] There he became part of the international art scene and formed acquaintances with many artists and art historians, including the British spy, Sir Anthony Blunt in 1960, who told Hebborn that a couple of his drawings looked like Poussins. This sowed the seeds of his forgery career. Hebborn returned to London where he was hired by art restorer George Aczel. During his employ he was instructed not only to restore paintings, but to alter them and improve them. George Aczel graduated him from restoring existing paintings to "restoring" paintings on entirely blank canvases so that they could be sold for more money. A falling out over Eric's knowledge of painting and restoration destroyed the relationship between Aczel and Hebborn. Eric and his lover Graham David Smith also frequented a junk and antique shop near Leicester Square, where Eric befriended one of the owners, Marie Gray. In organizing the prints catalogued in the shop Eric began to understand more about paper, and its history and uses in art. It was on some of these blank, but old, pieces of paper that Eric made his first forgeries. His first true forgeries were pencil drawings after Augustus John and were based on a drawing of a child by Andrea Schiavone. Graham Smith states [2] that several of these were sold to their landlord Mr Davis, several to Bond Street galleries and two or three through Christie's sale rooms. Eventually Hebborn decided to settle in Italy with Graham, and they founded a private gallery there. Life as a forger When contemporary critics did not. 3.
