I'm going to guess that the Mondrian (on the bottom) is fake, because the black lines do not go all the way to the edge, and I'm pretty sure they do in pieces of this kind.

If I'm right though, it's a very good fake, because there is texture I wouldn't expect in the red block that makes it look like real paint.

EDIT: Ah, okay then, I withdraw my guess.

NEW EDIT: New guesses

I will guess that both are real. The top one: colors are very Matisse and I think I know the very popular print it is a detail of or if a fake that it is trying to look like a detail of. But that would be such a bizarre/obscure thing to copy, it's not the obvious image anyone would go with to try and "look like" a Matisse.

The Mondrian (bottom) I think is real because of all the imperfections. It's not a solid block of red, and the black lines aren't perfect. The lines and blocks of color is the signature look for this artist, so if you were forging it's exactly what you'd go for. But I wouldn't expect those imperfections. This looks like it actually is a painting.

Eager to see how I did.
