Winter film series ends with "Art and Craft"
Saturday
is the last chance to take in a film in the 2017 Winter Film Series,
Films in February, Movies in March, at the Charles H. MacNider Art
Museum, 303 Second St. S.E.
"Art
and Craft" follows Mark Landis, called one of the most prolific art
forgers in the United States history. The 2014 documentary will be shown
at 2 p.m. March 11. Admission is free, open to the public, and popcorn
will be provided.
Landis'
impressive body of work spans 30 years. While his copies could fetch
impressive sums on the open market, he isn't in it for money. Instead,
he donates his fakes to museums across the country.
When
Matthew Leininger, a tenacious registrar in Cincinnati, discovers the
ruse and organizes an exhibition of the work, Landis must confront his
legacy and the museum professionals clamoring for him to stop.
"Art
and Craft" (89 minutes) is not rated. It is sponsored by Dr. Samuel
Congello and Dr. Patricia Endress. For more information, visit www.macniderart.org.
