I would love this! I am sad my dad could stick around this world to see this. I heard him talk many times about his envy of forgers, and he reminded me of what had stopped being required of students by the 70s - the importance of copying the masters. That you could eventually no help showing your own hand. BTW, Dad was born in a tenement in Detroit, his 2 siblings died of the cold. He would sneak out and watch Diego Rivera paint the murals in the Detroit Institute, and one day looked up through the scaffolding and said, :"Hy! Mister! That's pretty GOOD!" and Rivera there rags at him and said Go AWAY little boy!!". After the war, he went to the Philadelphia MOA and - long story short - had to support a family and when he retired, he went back to painting. 3 of his cowboy pieces were chosen for a show at the Louvre to celebrate American Artists In Paris for the US Bicentennial. He always felt he was a failure, but hello...? The Louvre!! haha

My mum was an art teacher. Back in the 80's her colleague ,Mick, taught art to the prisoners in Strangeways in the evenings. One of the prisoners who he dealt with was in for art forgery (wondering if it might even be this bloke?). Mick also had a connection to the BBC in Manchester. He got a wedding invite from a producer (or director? Someone flash at the time, possibly iirc conected to Coronation Street) and was dismayed at the level of presents on the wedding list as the couple were using it to set themselves up in their new house (washing machine/King size bed etc etc). One thing caught his eye though, an Edwardian watercolour! He decided that he would have a go at painting one of those. He took advice from the forger on how to do this, and with some help from my mother as well on style/technique/composition, produced a painting then set about aging it (lemon juice and heated in a tin in an oven?) a period correct frame bought from a junk shop and nails aged in his garden etc. The couple were delighted with the painting, it was the one present, said Mick, that all the guests seemed to focus on amongst all the expensive stuff and no one seemed to have any doubts about it, not even Mick's wife whom he hadn't let in on the secret. Some months later Mick got a phone call, it was the husband who very apologetically mentioned that he'd been asked to submit something to a charity auction. He explained that since they were still setting up their life together he didn't really have anything suitable apart from the Edwardian watercolour, as much as they'd hate to lose it, would Mick be upset if he donated it? Mick could only agree that it was their's to do with what grey wanted/good cause... and hoped nothing would happen to get him in trouble. He found out later that it was appraised/valued for £500 and sold for £1000

He will forge till the day he dies. He forges paintings that he obviously likes personally and has a lot of respect for. I’m sure he is as good as any painter ever was.

Look at the shape of his head.

This has got to be made into a good old Brit flick, with Jude Law as Max and Bill Nighy as the Sammy Cohen. Come on someone - make it!

Fascinating story to say the least. To replicate a masterwork requires knowledge of technique , medium and color synthesis with no variation to the original. His observational skills in his minds eye transmitted to his hand eye coordination to reproduce every stroke flawlessly are superior. I would suggest purchasing one of his legitimate originals because artists of his caliber are few and far between.

I would love to meet Max, what a fabulous Man.

This was great fun to watch. I used to be a fan of the Art forger Tom Keating when I was a kid .he was a very different type of man but had the same talent. . I love fakers of any kind they show up the pretentions of the know-it-alls. I do hope this guy writes his autobiography. That old world of London characters fascinates me.

congratulations Max love your book Britain’s No. 1 Art Forger Max Brandrett:

What an absolute joy to watch and listen to

If i'd had an opotunity to comission a forged piece from him, id like to get one of Rembrandts work. He is professional at what he does, and i think he is able to recreate the tension in the eyes, the feel of the fabrics painted.

I love the little details he added to the paintings that isn't in the original. Like the clock in the Coolidge painting 16:02 shows another time

what a great story from an interesting man - and an artistic genius at that !

Just finished listening to the LADbible podcast with Max on it! Brilliant!!!

A Chruch among trees copy was spot on, wow!

His memory is so good

If I was wealthy I'd hire him to create works for my home. Just a bunch of paintings of subjects that interest me, each in the style of one of my favorite artists.

Pablo Picasso was once quoted to have said ‘Good artists copy, great artists steal.’

This was incredible to watch! I could listen to Max all day. I would love to see more of his paintings. I bet he could sell some copies online for a decent price, marketing them AS copies! Some people might love to drop some money on a nice-looking painted copy of a Picasso or Monet versus buying a print!

He does. He exhibits and sells copies under his own name, and they are not cheap.

He is a very interesting guy, I love to listen to his stories.

I could just listen to this guy's stories for hours.

I first got interested in art forgery when I read "drawn to trouble" by Eric Hebborn - I highly recommend reading it.

Absolutely brilliant
