Edgar Collins, who has had a keen interest in art since his youth and dropped out of graduate school in 1988, is on a quest to authenticate what he believes might be an undiscovered Cézanne painting.

Assi 4a

Is it a Cézanne painting?

Dr. Pruschy

although result not necessary true because polyene is not independant on environmental conditions.
result was painting is not made hundred years ago
tested substantial absorbance of polyene in paint

Dr.Simpkins

although no evidence for polyene emission from the painting
results supported an attribution to Cézanne
examined fluorescence from surface of painting using waves

Dr. Andersen

result not sure, another technique is needed to proof presence of barium and cadmium
result was might not be a Cézanne at all
tested using infrared spectroscopy

Dr. Philip Marden, Dr.Wandless's trusted colleague

agreed that it is an unknown Cézanne, painted in late 1880s
said it is the most exciting painting he ever saw

Dr. Montoya

still no proof that it was painted by Cézanne himself
result original painting composed of pigments available Cézanne's time
examined elemental composition of samples from different colored areas

Edgar Collins

Interested in finding undiscovered artwork
Dropped out of graduate school in 1988
Has been interested in art since he was young

Dr. Wandless, curator of Metropolitan Museum

arranged for scientists at Spectrotech to examine the painting
refused allowing the painting in the exhibit before making sure it is not fake

Edgar's closest friend Dmitri

admitted that it looked authentic
considered the existence of a new Cézanne implausible
