At the art gallery where everyone wanted to show off their art, Paul Wilson wanted to see how good their security was while everyone was at the show; so he called up a couple of his friends, Jason, Lisa, and Jennifer, and they mapped out a plan so they could steal someone’s painting while replacing it with a portrait that looks the same. So they ended up catering the event, serving food and drinks to people that were at the show; then they would put everyone in a different room across the other room and that’s where they would have a toast from the main artist. Then while he would give his speech, Lisa would make a big scene and distract them while the other two would make the switch in the paintings. The guard was standing in the room where the painting was so they had to change their plan. Once the guard left, hey did the switch in less than 5 seconds. Then as they made the switch, the security guards seemed a little weird and were walking around. Then while Jason took the painting and was trying to get out of the building while the security wasn’t looking, their was a 3rd party waiting outside in a vehicle waiting to pick the painting up then drive off. After all that was done, they went back into the room where everyone was and told them what they had done. Everyone was shocked that something like this could have happened right in front of all those people, they also couldn’t believe how easily it was done and how easy they made it look. Now that that had happened, they have stronger and more security, they now mark the paintings with a tinger paint fingerprint that only can be seen with a black light, and they finally put alarms on the back of the

    Kenyon claims he purchased the painting in good faith. While Kenyon did legally purchase the painting from the Salvation Army, he is not the rightful owner. According to the text the painting is lost. Lost property is when the owner of the property “unintentionally parted with the possession,” because he had not intentionally left it behind Abel still owns the painting. While Kenyon did technically “find” the painting the rights of finders are “superior o everyone except the owner.” Also according to the text because Abel is the original owner he has the right to “retain ownership” and “has the right to the return of the property.” So therefore the painting should be returned to Abel and the Salvation Army should refund Kenyon the twenty-five dollars he spent on the…

    French Rococo Era Painter, 1703-1770 Francois Boucher seems to have been perfectly attuned to his times, a period which had cast off the pomp and circumstance characteristic of the preceding age of Louis XIV and had replaced formality and ritual by intimacy and artificial manners. Boucher was very much bound to the whims of this frivolous society, and he painted primarily what his patrons wanted to see. It appears that their sight was best satisfied by amorous subjects, both mythological and contemporary. The painter was only too happy to supply them, creating the boudoir art for which he is so famous. Boucher was born in Paris on Sept. 29, 1703, the son of Nicolas Boucher, a decorator who specialized in embroidery design. Recognizing his sons artistic potential, the father placed young Boucher in the studio of François Lemoyne, a decorator-painter who worked in the manner of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Though Boucher remained in Lemoynes studio only a short time, he probably derived his love of delicately voluptuous forms and his brilliant color palette from the older masters penchant for mimicking the Venetian decorative painters.…

    However, this has proven just as useless. Finally, they partnered with the GSA, which you would guess that this has not helped either. To this day, it has proven a challenge to find the artwork that was stolen from us decades ago. In 1995, five decades after the incident with Walt Whitman's poetry, four notebooks that were stolen have been retrieved, leaving six to be discovered. FBI's art crime team head Bonnie Magness-Gardiner herself states, "Trying to locate items that disappeared decades ago represents a significant challenge for law enforcement." Even in the 90s, only the Concert, which was the painting that Tom Mashburg, the reporter for the Boston Herold, had been spotted through the paint chips on his hand, but has still not been recovered by government officials. You would think that with our modern technology that we would be able to stop a couple of amateur crooks. However, this seems to be the opposite case, as we have become an easier target. We Americans, who pride ourselves upon being the greatest, cannot stop a bunch of lowdown…
