Pensive Young BrunettePensive Young Brunette, 1845-1850 Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, French. In the course of provenance research on the European painting collection, the Museum discovered that a painting by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Pensive Young Brunette (1963-181-18), had been confiscated by the Nazis from the French collector Alphonse Kann. In 1945 the painting was found by the Allies in a salt mine in Austria, and in July 1946 it was returned to Kann (inglés)
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts has sent a painting by cubist Fernand Leger back to the heirs of a Jewish art collector in France, after concluding it had been stolen by the Nazis during World War II.The museum had owned the 1911 Leger painting "Smoke Over Rooftops" since 1961. But after a decade of detective work, the institute decided to return it to the heirs of noted Parisian collector Alphonse Kann, who died in 1948."Having researched this to the end of the road, we decided we had to return the painting; it was the right thing to do," Kaywin Feldman, director of the institute, told the Star Tribune for a story published Thursday.In 1997, the museum received a letter claiming the painting had been part of Kann's collection that was confiscated by the Nazis after he fled Paris for London. Kann got much of his art back after the war, but not the Leger, now worth about $2.8 million. (inglés)
There were 5,009 items confiscated from the Rothschild family collections, 2,687 items from the David-Weill collection, and 1,202 from Alphonse Kann’s collection. The first shipment of confiscated art objects sent to Germany from Paris required 30 rail cars and consisted primarily of Rothschild paintings intended for Hitler’s Linz Museum. Among the first fifty-three paintings shipped to Hitler was Vermeer’s Astronomer from the Édouard de Rothschild collection, today in the Musée de Louvre in Paris. (inglés)
In the fall of 1940, Nazi looters broke into the Paris home of a renowned art connoisseur, Alphonse Kann, who had fled to London and left behind a major collection of impressionist paintings--by Braque, Cezanne, Degas, Matisse and more than two dozen by Picasso. It was one of a series of raids against French Jewish collectors who dominated the international art business in the prewar years.After the war, a little over half of the 300 or so paintings stolen from the Kann collection were returned to him and his family. The rest were never recovered, their fate obscured by the traditional secrecy of the international art trade, lack of access to government archives and a sense of hopelessness on the part of surviving family members.But nearly six decades after the Nazi raid, Kann's grand-nephew Francis Warin, encouraged by the surge of interest in restitution for Holocaust-era crimes and joined by other family members, launched his own search for the missing works. The search brought Warin to the United States, where he has confronted some of the nation's most prominent museums with complex and emotional questions likely to be repeated as more heirs eager to recoup their families' wartime losses come forward with their claims.
