One of my first warning signs that I might be an easily persuaded person was when in second grade someone told me that the word “Gullible” was not in the dictionary. Fortunately, I watched someone else argue that point into humiliation so that I didn’t have to.

Landis would often arrive at the museums dressed as a Jesuit priest with elaborate stories of how he had acquired the artworks he subsequently donated. Incredibly, after a 2007 investigation it was determined that Landis may not have actually broken any laws. He never once tried to profit from the fake artworks but instead seemed to gain enough satisfaction from fooling curatorial staff members at various institutions. While the interviews above by the Avante/Garde Diaries are not a comprehensive documentary, they are a fascinating glimpse into the world of this rather bizarre man.</p>http://duped.tumblr.com/post/41291102013http://duped.tumblr.com/post/41291102013Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:47:14 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kojfeokHPF1qzl54no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Thought it was another vintage computer ad, didn’t you?
