Any handwriting fundis out there - or professional / amateur sleuths?

Poor man. I sincerely hope he never had a cheque account. Can you just imagine all the times the bank would have had to call him to verify his signature. :amuse:

[wayjen 10]

He was practicing?

[MiemsJewels 10]

He was practicing?

Practicing to fraud his own signature........Yes I think so too!

[wayjen 10]

I just hate it when they do that.

[TS Ron 10]

Hmm he is like me I am for ever being called back to the bank as my signatures change all the time! I at times use to contribute it (dementia spelling) perhaps he also attributed his different signatures to dementia.Or else I put it down to have multiply characters depending on what I do at the bank at the time I often tell it is different characters signing as well. Maybe Father Claerhout had the same problem:weird:

I dont think that was his problem. I think some people have made a lot of money out of that signature!

[staccato 10]

I have had such a bad run lately, think I'm gonna change my signature to "Please buy my stuff, I'm broke..."

[Jongleur 10]

an interesting assortment.i have them all including a few more. which,if any,are forgeries. a question i have asked myself and anyone

who cares to listen a thousand times.

 

what does one do with a forged artwork? selling it as authentic is criminal. selling it as "unverified" is also not an

option if you know it is a forgery. selling them as genuine,authenticated forgeries would also invite negative opinion.

 

do you give them away, donate them, or hope they get redistributed along with other household items during one of frequent

burglaries. or would you run the risk of discerning thieves ignoring the masterpieces packed in tubes ready for ease of transport.

that would really hack me off.

 

when guests remark on your beautiful forgeries how do you answer them? or hope they get so inebriated during the course of the evening that they forget they were anywhere near your humble abode.

 

how do you insure a forgery. just imagine the assessor:

 

"with great respect ,sir ,we do not insure forged artworks. the frames,however,are covered under your all risks policy".

 

looks like i`m stuck with them. could one form a support group?

[MiemsJewels 10]

Very good question/s bon len! With very few answers!

Why don't you just sign with "X" like many of the "rainbow nation" do?

[MsPlod 10]

More...

 

Here is another selection - this time including one which is allegedly a "wet paint" :ninja: signature...

Ek kan jou wed.....die handtekening is nog nat ook MsPlod! LKH ( Lag klip hard):angel:

[lilythepink 10]

You folks are all missing the point - imagine how difficult it is to make a signature when you're inside a coffin, inside a grave. (Well, I am assuming that is where Father Claerhout has been residing since he died!) He may, of course, also be on Cloud 9, tippling away and that could be the cause of all the different signatures. :suspicious:

[kyle2 10]

Absolutely fascinating, I suppose only a jackass would believe those donkey's to be genuine! LOL:sneaky:

[Jongleur 10]

elevating a scam to a higher plane won`t answer the questions. the answers lie in a contemporary version(s)

of the deceased.

[MiemsJewels 10]

 

Another Claerhout up for auction???

[Jongleur 10]

a real gem. must have come from father himself. last week. and the frame? signed on the back?

[lilythepink 10]

There must be a method of "magicking" paints down into a coffin buried at least 6 ft under?

[Seeds for Africa 10]

Excellent! I want that one!

[MiemsJewels 10]

Wonder what price I will get for "MY" Claerhout????

Oh Miems please do have any more of those??? I so badly wanted a Father Claerhout I wonder if someone in Vatican shall answer me I believe they have an original pic there of one of the Father's art works I just would like to see the signature?

Perhaps they shall send me a copy I am not going to travel all the way to the Vatican?

[wayjen 10]

His spirit lives on it seems. Such a pity the spirit does not get Royalties for the signatures on the artwork, or does it?

[lilythepink 10]

Good question, Wayne. Now, are we all quite sure that Father Claerhout is dead? Has that been proven? :noworry:
