My wife and I went to a Matisse exhibit, and she liked one named "Bouquet of Dahlias and White Book 1923." So for our 39th anniversary I decided to make a forgery for her.
My work is not a copy but a composition based on Matisse's motifs I picked up from an hour of study at the exhibit; such as bold patterns, making the outdoors part of the indoors, altered depth of field, and the reuse of props. Like Matisse, I sculpted the scene to better understand the relationship of its parts. Except I used 3D modeling software with a 3D printer. I started with a 100 year old virtual canvas and applied simulated paints from that time period. I also used period brushes that were downloaded from the internet. Matisse would alter his paintings over the months, often pasting bits of paper over the work to see how an alteration would look before committing it to paint. My workflow was similar. I used the commands; "Undo, Redo, Clone, Content Aware,Copy, Cut, and Paste" along with layer masks to accomplish the same thing. Using these modern techniques plus not having to wait for the paint to dry, I was able to complete this in minutes, not months. Textures were added to age the work and some restorations were done to make it seem over 90 years old. The original file on my hard drive is purposely unsigned so it cannot be used against me in case forgery charges are brought against me. To the untrained eye my work may seam amateurish, but the discerning viewer will see that no brush stroke was wasted in the creation of this new found masterpiece.
