Grossly Imposed on by Well

With a Talented Painter.
WORKS WELL DoCToRED.
Uncompleted Paintings of Recognized
Masters Were Finished. Their Indi-
vidual Style Being Initiated.

New York, April 27.-As the result OF
an Inquiry which is being conducted by
several of the leading art collectors OF
this city, together with their counsel.
story has been revealed that cannot
fail to astound the art world of Ameri-
ca and Europe, These art collectors
have reached the conclusion that for
years the most competent critics and
the most discriminating buyers of
paintings have been grossly imposed
upon by we'll known art dealer who

ability not only to finish the uncom-
pleted works of recognized masters
hut even to initiate their individual
style so successfully as to suggest imi-
tatiVe powers amounting to genius.
Several collectors who now believe
they have been imposed upon, have put
the matter in the hands of lawyers
To prevent the successful continue
ton of such insidious fraud is the pur-
pose of the inquiry now under way
Whether the results may be such as to
warrant legal action is not yet known.
Three great masters of American
landscape painting-Homer Martin. A.

those whose works have been most
persistently and most successfully i'm
itated. according to the investigators.
and these distinguished names are said
to have been attached to spurious
paintings, many of which have been
sold at high prices to unsuspecting pur-
chasers.
1t has been estimated that counter
felt examples of paintings have been
disposed of to the amount of not less
than $4,000. Even the great Whistler
is said to have been successfully imi-
tated and his immortal name forged on
spurious canVases.
