Sinopsis

Forgery in Art explores the fascinating, deceptive world where fake artwork can command millions, challenging our understanding of art history and the art market. The book investigates how art forgery threatens the integrity of artistic legacy, compelling us to question the authenticity of long-accepted masterpieces. It delves into the psychology of the forger, the evolution of forgery techniques, and the scientific methods used for detection.

 
The book analyzes the motivations behind forgery, driven by a mixture of artistic talent, financial need, and ego. It traces how forgery techniques have advanced, from simple replication to complex schemes involving artificial aging and false provenance. The book then details the scientific advancements, such as pigment analysis, that have transformed art authentication.

 
Through case studies of notorious figures like Han van Meegeren, known for his Vermeer forgeries, and Elmyr de Hory, who deceived galleries worldwide, the book reveals the diverse strategies used in art fraud.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first defines art forgery and its legal and ethical implications. It then presents case studies of famous forgers and finally examines the science of authentication, including microscopic and x-ray analysis. Forgery in Art uniquely blends historical and scientific perspectives, providing a comprehensive look at art forgery and its impact on our appreciation of art.

On the Decay of the Art of Lying

Mark Twain

In On the Decay of the Art of Lying (1880), Mark Twain offers a witty, satirical defense of lying as a necessary and even noble human art. He begins by observing that lying is a universal trait, present in everyone, but laments that it is no longer done skillfully or for virtuous reasons. Twain argues that lying, when done with good intentions—such as to protect others’ feelings or preserve harmonies, is far preferable to harsh truth-telling that causes harm. He criticizes hypocritical moralists who lie while pretending to be virtuous and instead advocates for honest acknowledgment of the role lies play in everyday life. 
Twain calls for a revival of lying as a thoughtful, considerate act rather than a selfish or malicious one. He suggests that lying should be taught and refined, much like any other art form, so that it can serve beneficial ends. Satirizing society's pretensions and moral contradictions, Twain uses humor and irony to challenge conventional views on honesty. Ultimately, his essay is not a blanket endorsement of deceit, but a call to recognize the complexity of truth and to use lies, when necessary, with kindness and responsibility. Through this piece, Twain cleverly blurs the line between truth and fiction.

Field Notes from a Waterborne...

Anindya Chakravorty, Parimal...

In the late 2000s, when the three-decade-long Left Front rule in West Bengal was crumbling, Parimal Bhattacharya began to travel outside the well-trodden urban centres to different parts of the region - from the Sundarbans to tribal Jangalmahal, from the outskirts of Kolkata to villages on the Bangladesh border, from the floodplains of the Hooghly to the forests of Simlipal in neighbouring Odisha. 
There, he encountered: a woman who was branded a witch because she was listed in the census as literate; an island that vanished famously, only to resurface; a paralysed communist who dreams about the death of a river; a forest community who believe they are descendants of the Harappans; an old millworker and his wife who fight the ghosts of a dead industrial town with laughter; a fisherman uprooted by a river eleven times in twenty years; and many more. This book documents the missing narratives of these 'other' Bengalis, the largely invisible majority beyond the bhadralok that the rest of India knows. 
Moving between the personal and the political, and between travelogue, journal and memoir, Field Notes from a Waterborne Land takes the reader on a journey across a fascinating land peopled with unforgettable characters.
