My new favorite book for sexy reading funtime!

This is my new favorite book for sexy reading funtime!

It is so very mysterious and a true story about an art forger. He makes pictures to look like Vermeer and is involved also with Nazis. It is soooo well written! I think the author is inside my head and speaks only to me. It is most sexiful feeling!

The author is very handsome! Ellie and Christine want him for sexy funtime in the bedroom! We would make him very happy!



I find this description of the book on the web. It is soooo true!

My advice: Get a copy of Jonathan Lopez’s terrific new book, “The Man Who Made Vermeers.” It’s so jam-packed and nicely written that you’ll burn right through it.

The yearning for Vermeer is central to Lopez’s story, which chronicles how Han van Meegeren was able to successfully produce numerous forgeries of works claimed to be by the painter from Delft. Look at some of those fakes today, and they seem so obviously wrong as to leave one puzzled as to how they could have been accepted by some of the 20th century’s best museum curators, art dealers and private collectors. We must be way smarter than them.

Well, no. Lopez astutely points out: “[A] fake doesn’t necessarily succeed or fail according to the fidelity with which it replicates the distant past but on the basis of its power to sway the contemporary mind. Although the best forgeries may mimic the style of a long-dead artist, they tend to reflect the tastes and attitudes of their own period.” Lopez shows how Van Meegeren split that critical difference.

Since the “tastes and attitudes” of Van Meegeren’s own period included the horrific rise of Nazism in Europe, Lopez’s fresh interpretation of events is very provocative — not to mention convincing. Two important things he brings to his four-year revisionist study: The writer is himself a painter, so he understands art materials in a hands-on way; and, he’s fluent in Dutch, which made interviews and original document research possible.

It would be hard to improve on Lopez’s gem of a tale.
