Fewmets in a Blue Bowl Watercolor by I. L. Glutz

I.L. Glutz was a fictitious name used by several Baltimore realist artists to fool customers as a protest to "modern" art.
From the Museum of Hoaxology
In 1935, Charcaol Club President John McGrath announced the rediscovery of Ignatius Lancelot Glutz, Baltimore's greatest painter, who died of starvation in a Paris garret in 1929. McGrath (and his compatriot Baltimore artist Laurence W. Sagle) mocked the mythologies of artistic genius and the dubious nature of historic documentation. They were able to sell several Glutz paintings before the hoax was revealed
