I call bullshit.

If someone hung some out of focus water lilies and labeled it a newly discovered Monet, most people would believe it. The biggest of experts may find details that don’t quite match other Monets, but if those experts were involved in the forgery, they could easily make sure to check those boxes.

Saying they can’t be reproduced is just arrogance, or gatekeeping.

No disrespect to the artists. They deserve the respect for what they do, and creating their own style is half the challenge, but saying it’s impossible for anyone else to do the same after that, is a stretch.
