“You can’t imagine what it’s like to paint
like – Bernard Tufts. His painting hasn’t developed as much. It’s as if I’m
faking Tufts now because I’m painting the same Tufts as I did five years ago!
In a way, I have to make more of an effort to be myself than I do to be
Derwatt."
Bernard Tufts, artist and forger of Derwatt
paintings in Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley Under ground
