Morris Katz Original Oil Painting Landscape, Trees, Lake 1976

Morris Katz (born Moshe Katz on March 5, 1932 – November 12, 2010) was a Polish-American painter. He holds two Guinness World Records as the world's fastest painter and the world's most prolific artist. He has also been called the "King of Schlock Art" and the "King of Toilet Paper Art" because of a novel means of painting he developed using a palette knife and toilet tissue instead of a paintbrush.
On October 1, 1985 Morris wrested the Guinness World Record from none other than Picasso himself as the world most prolific Artist at the Art Students League on 57th Street in New York City. Katz was born in 1932 in Galicia, Poland.[2] At age 13 he studied under Dr. Hans Fokler of the Munich Academy.[1][2] During the Holocaust, Morris suffered unspeakable horrors in Nazi concentration camps and lost most of his family. After World War II, he lived for a while in a displaced persons camp, where he earned a diploma in carpentry, and he said later that toilet paper was his "diploma in art."[
