SUMMARY: Mark Landis, a former art forger, donated fake artworks claiming they were masterpieces by renowned artists to various museums for over 30 years. His motivation stemmed from a desire to impress his mother and feel part of the art community, rather than for financial gain. Landis's story has gained attention, leading to a documentary that was shortlisted for an Academy Award, praised by Woody Allen. Now a portrait artist, he is hosting a book signing event at Negados Gallery, aiming to share his artistic journey and connect with admirers. His friend Romy Hall emphasizes Landis's love for art and community.

For more than three decades, one Mississippi artist donated artwork he claimed was created by the world's greatest artists. It was all a lie.
