While the Chinese replicas may be easy enough to spot as fakes and tend to be a little larger or smaller than the originals, the craftsmanship and talent poured into each piece is undeniably great. Some of them might even fool house guests who aren't quite as in the know as others!</p> <p>Check out Wolf's <em>Copy Art</em> photo gallery <a href="http://www.photomichaelwolf.com/china_copy_artist/index.html" target="_new">here</a>. His expert photographic skills make the showcased canvases all the more alluring.</p> http://anthemmagazine.com/story/527#comments Art &amp; Design Art_Design China designboom painting Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:29:51 -0700 nik.mercer 527 at http://anthemmagazine.com
