French court returns WWII looted Pissarro painting to owner’s family
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA French court orders the return of a painting by impressionist master Camille Pissarro to the family of a Jewish art collector who was dispossessed during World War II.
The court ruled in favor of the relatives of Simon Bauer, who staked their claim to “La Cueillette des Pois” (Picking Peas) after it turned up in a Paris exhibition, on loan from an American couple who said they bought it in good faith.
Bauer, a wealthy businessman with a sizable art collection in 1943, was dispossessed by the anti-Semitic wartime French government which collaborated with the Nazis.
