A clip from 'F for Fake', 1973, by Orson Wells
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072962/
This section of the film was devoted to Elmyr de Hory, one of the most prolific art forgers.
The quote is taken from Rudyard Kipling's 'The Conundrum of the Workshops'
"When the flush of a newborn sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,
Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mold;
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves: "It's pretty, but is it Art?""
