Alice Ballard - Artist Statement
My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. These forms come to me
on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my
fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often
the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that
attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms
share similar qualities.
I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It
becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that
those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and
tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer
will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance.

Ceramic Plate by Master Art Forger David Stein after Pablo Picasso Vallauris
Located in Surfside, FL
Apres Pablo Picasso (bears a pseudo signature recto)
Hand signed David Stein, dated 1979 verso.
Figural painted porcelain or ceramic serving dish, oval form.
Dimensions: 18" X 14
David Stein (born Henri Haddad, 1935, Alexandria, Egypt – died 1999, Bordeaux, France) was an artist (notorious art forger) who, until 1966, had been frequently sentenced for theft by the French courts before becoming an art forger and art dealer with 15 aliases.
Stein often copied paintings in the style of the masters. For example, he studied Marc Chagall, Matisse, Braque, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Rouault, in order to copy their color scheme and inspirations.
In 1967 Marc Chagall notified authorities of forgeries of his work hanging in a New York gallery, and Stein was arrested. Art dealers refused to cooperate with the prosecution because it would have incriminated them and made their expertise in the art field questionable. Some art collectors refused to give up their paintings as evidence. Stein was convicted of six counts of art forgery and grand larceny. During his prison term, Joseph Stone, the judge who arrested him, brought him to his office to paint. He remained a good friend of the Stein family long after Stein completed his jail sentence. In 1989 he discovered that Stein never stopped making forgeries.
After Stein had served his prison term in the United States, he was deported to France where he served another term. Prison authorities allowed him to make further paintings, although now using his own name. In 1969 a London gallery sold some of these paintings. After Stein was released, he returned to painting, this time selling his paintings under his own name to put a mask on his real activities.
The book Three Picasso's Before Breakfast (Mémoirs of an Art Forger's Wife) by Anne Marie Stein as told to Georges Carpozi Jr (Hawthorn Book Inc) was written by David's life partner Anne-Marie about their experiences in the art world. In the mid 1980s director Gil Cates gave his agent Arthur Axelman at William Morris a copy of the book which had been written without Stein's involvement. Axelman set out to find Stein and after several years he located him in Manhattan. Stein became an Axelman client and friend. While deals at HBO and ABC did not lead to production of a film, Axelman introduced Stein to Keith Carradine and Alan Rudolph, director of the movie "The Moderns" with ultimately starred John Lone, Géraldine Chaplin, Keith Carradine and Linda Fiorentino. The film was set in the Paris of the '20s although filmed in Montreal. Stein appeared in the film as an art critic and provided all of the art. A minor concern was a scene where a painting in the style of Matisse and Modigliani was to be burned on camera and a Modigliani destroyed by knife. No one cared to destroy any of Stein's copies, "Just good for the camera" say Stein. but a William Morris assistant for agent Axelman suggested making large format copies of the works to be destroyed. Stein refused and during the scene actor John Lone destroyed the Paintings.
Stein was living in France after his troubles with the US immigration who had told him to leave US territory in 1988. He met the French photo...
