Forged Art CONTINUED
IN JAIL at time of his arrest, Jean Pinson-Berthet wore a Bohemian beard. Later he disappeared, but was sentenced in absentia to five years' imprisonment.
MISSING BUT STILL IN ACTION
The apartment where the fakes turned up belonged to the mother of Jean Pinson-Berthet, painter and ex-art dealer. Pinson-Berthet once worked as secretary to Artist Maurice Utrillo, got to know Utrillo so well that he began to paint like him. In 1949 Pinson-Berthet was arrested for having forged and circulated more than 30 "Utrillos." Freed on bail, he quickly went into hiding, failed to turn up for trial last summer. Apparently he spent the time profitably forging Vlamincks and more Utrillos.
IN COU RT at the time of his first hearing in November 1949, Pinson-Berthet wore a look of injured innocence as his mustachioed lawyer pleaded his case.
