Storyline

For several decades, gifted and incredibly prolific forger Mark Landis compulsively created impeccable copies of works by a variety of major artists, donating them to institutions across the country and landing pieces on many of their walls. ART AND CRAFT brings us into the cluttered and insular life of an unforgettable character just as he finds his foil in an equally obsessive art registrar.

Critics consensus

“The spotlight it shines on an apparently troubled mind may strike some viewers as exploitative, but Art and Craft remains a thoroughly gripping glimpse into the life of a legendary art forger.”

A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating documentary about Landis' amazing feats as a forger and con man.

It's the kind of story a filmmaker dreams of - and yet, "Art and Craft" leaves the viewer uneasy.

William Goss

RTAustin ChronicleOct 15, 2014

Much like the experts drawn to Landis' paintings, Art and Craft effectively invites viewers to question the honesty of what's been placed inside the frame.

Art and Craft provides a fascinating portrait of Landis' internal process and justification for what seem to be random acts of philanthropy.
