Art Craft Explores How One Forger Duped More Than 45 Museums

"For nearly 30 years, art forger Mark Landis duped dozens of museums into accepting fakes into their collections. His stunts made headlinesaround the world. But Mark Landis never asked for money so he never went to jail. Now his paintings and drawings are in a touring exhibition called Intent to Deceive, and he's the subject of a new documentary called Art & Craft."

"Landis is a paradox. He's a shut-in who craves interaction. His house in Laurel, Miss., is extremely cluttered, but his scams are well-organized. In Art & Craft, we also learn that Landis is a huge fan of old movies and TV shows."

"'Mark has seen almost everything up to a point, maybe the 1970s,' saysArt & Craft producer and director Jennifer Grausman. 'He remembers not only names and titles and actors but lines from all of these movies which do make their way into his vernacular.'"
