A. To create a successful forgery

Explanation:

Pastiche represents a work of art that is inspired by the other piece or other artist's work. It imitates other art or takes its elements, while also celebrating and praising it.

The word comes from the meal pasticcio, pie with various mixed ingredients – similarly, pastiche is a combination of elements and works of two (or more artists).

While in the past, pastiche was a common practice and many great paintings were reproduced and copied, today the public feelings towards pastiche have changed. Pastiches are considered more and more to be copies and forgeries today. This is partly due to the discovery of photography – it became more commonplace to document the copy of the art piece, and there was no need anymore to do pastiche. Any copy of the artwork today may likely be considered forged.
