It's not a forgery, it's a painting made for very different tastes than ours

  It's shopped, and badly. The foreground tractor isn't even the same perspective as the rest of the scene. Why would a painter do that?

    Because they're painting with photoshop ? If they made the same picture with watercolours, would it be a 'forgery' or a 'shop' as well ? There's never been any intent to make the viewer believe that what they're seeing is actually real. It's just a painting, it's not really well done, and it's done with photoshop instead of more traditional techniques. Some parts of the painting are taken from photographs but that is not unusual in asian paintings

      Ah I see, you're using some strange definition of the word "painting" which somehow includes shoddy photoshop collages.

        According to modern painting theory, photography is just one more technique that painters can use to put colors on the canvas. This is not a fringe use of the word "painting", but part of its definition since at least 50 years ago.
