Over 50 artworks stolen from Jewish collectors during World War II — including paintings by Matisse, Picasso and Pissarro — will go on display at Manhattan's Jewish Museum.
Dozens of artworks once stolen from Jewish collectors by the Nazis in the 1930s and '40s will be exhibited in New York starting on Friday.
The Nazis are known to have looted and stolen hundreds of thousands of artworks in total -- often from Jewish collectors, gallerists and families fleeing persecution. Though some of the pieces were later recovered and returned to their owners or their descendants, many remain missing or are the subject ofHenri Matisse's "Girl in Yellow and Blue with Guitar" from 1939 will be on show at the Jewish Museum's show "Afterlives.
The New York exhibition also includes items once stolen from Jewish art collector David David-Weill, who had more than 2,000 artworks seized during the occupation, and a collage by German artist Kurt Schwitters that features Nazi customs stamps and administrative labels.Although the Nazis prohibited the production of modern art, the regime profited from its sale and even exhibited looted works to promote nationalist values.
