The Walters canonizes the forgery
(09/29/06 5:00am)
Few exhibits, if any, ever focus on the forgeries and copies of famous artists. Most allow an interested museum patron to look at and appreciate the art of Monet, Van Gogh or Renoir. However, at the Walters Art Museum, a small exhibit, Courbet/Not Courbet, focuses not only on the works of Gustave Courbet but also the works of his students, followers and forgers.
