Emile Schuffenecker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude-Émile Schuffenecker (1851 - 1934) was a French artist. It has been suggested that he may have forged the work of other contemporary artists including Vincent van Gogh.

He was a friend of Gauguin, and the two used to study the work of Old Masters together at the Louvre[1], and the two both studied at the Académie Colarossi.

After the Paris stock market crashed, Schuffenecker decided to become a teacher of drawing.[2]

He is also suspected of having completed unfinished works by Paul Cézanne [1].
