<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8071244, member: 19463"]To me, forgery implies an intent to deceive by the maker. What do you call replicas made for study or new works inspired by the spirit of an older work? Are artists today who paint in a pointillist style forging Seurat or one of the other impressionists who pioneered the method? To me the difference comes when the creator of a work tells people that it is something it is not. A Slavey, Antiquanova, Westair or British Museum electrotype replica can be sold by a fraudulent or ignorant person but that does not make 'forgers' out of their creators. We need a word for things made to honor rather than deceive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
