OlegTsi, could you give examples of fakes primitives?

[OlegTsi]

Here's a classic example of counterfeits of famous self-taught primitivist Nicephorus Drovnyaka. In most cases the counterfeits are doing in Poland (he was born in the territory Lemkivschiny, today the East-South part of Poland, and was a typical lemkies). Being deaf and illiterate, had to learn the basics of art itself. His works are in private collections of many, is reproduced in many newspapers around the globe about the primitive and naive art, his work is compared with the works of Ukrainian avant-garde, well, of course, not bypass it and poddelschiki.
