	TREASURES OF DECEIT: ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE FORGER'S CRAFT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		John Drewe, whose clever deception of the art world is depicted by Times writer and artist Peter Landesman, was convicted this year of dealing and profiting from fake work (made from household paint and K-Y Jelly; products developed long after Picasso's Blue Period).
		And that's what made Drewe's scheme so captivating: Drewe, Landesman reports, went so far as to alter museum catalogues and to make up untraceable ownership.
		Like Dossena's and Drewe's work (though Drewe prayed on a hapless British artist, who was also convicted, to paint the forgeries), each of the exhibit's objects comes with its own fascinating story.

		Cleared of accusations of collaborating with the Nazis, Hans Van Meegeren has nevertheless gone down in history as a resentful failure, stung by the critical rejection of his own mediocre paintings, kitschy oils of fawns and overblown allegorical scenes exhibited under his own name in his youth.
		More recently, John Myatt, forger of Picassos, Matisses, and Giacomettis, is invariably portrayed as a hapless loser, manipulated and bullied by his own collaborator, the more intelligent and conniving John Drewe.
		An affable, modest man from a poor rural area, he expresses a sincere admiration for the Pre-Columbian cultures that he mimics, and regrets not having lived in those times.
