...from before 1930 is artificial and unfair. The work is simply not of the same order." He is at least 91.23% correct, though the distinction is not likely to disturb the average museumgoer, who will revel in the early, if decidedly familiar canvases by Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Dufy, Derain, Vlaminck and other cubist and fauvist favorites. Particularly impressive: Picasso's rarely shown room-sized stage curtain from the 1917 production of Diaghilev's ballet, Parade...
Braque's versatility as a painter is legendary and a wide range of his development in oils can be seen here. A few examples include a 1906 land-scape very much like Fauvist work, particularly reminiscent of Vlaminck. Later, in 1911, at the height of the Cubist period, Braque painted the "Still Life with Banderilas," one of a series of muted-tone exercises almost indistinguishable from Picassos of the same period. Three still lifes, one of 1929, another 1939, and of 1941 show his developing interest. The first includes a lemon painted to look flat, while on an adjacent goblet...

Prowling the art galleries and fishing are two favorite relaxations: his penthouse apartment on Manhattan's East Side is decorated with paintings and drawings by Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh and Vlaminck, and his twelve-room home in suburban Connecticut-built around a converted, 100-year-old schoolhouse-has a fresh-water pond containing a private stock of trout...
February he had them invited round to Meadows' house. "As we entered," says New York Dealer Klaus Perls, "we saw a huge fake Vlaminck, and on the opposite side was a fake Picasso." Nor did the count end there. By the end of the tour, A.D.A.A. members politely informed Meadows that of the 58 paintings he had purchased over the past four years, he was the proud possessor of 44 fakes, including 15 Dufys, nine Derains, seven Modiglianis, five Vlamincks and two Bonnards...
...Dallas. Lessard has been acting as "private secretary" to a dandy named Fernand Legros, who last March in Paris sent a photo of a painting supposedly by Andre Derain to an auction house, only to have the painter's widow question its authenticity. Two Dufys and a Vlaminck offered by Legros to the house were handed over to police...
