Looted Paintings by Nazis to be Handed over to Owner's Heir

  • The French government agreed to hand back three looted paintings to the heirs of a Jewish collector who died in a German concentration camp.
  • The canvases by Fauvist Andre Derain were once owned by the renowned Parisian gallery owner Rene Gimpel, who was denounced by a rival dealer after joining the Resistance to fight against Nazi occupation and France's collaborationist Vichy government.
  • The decision comes after an appeals court in Paris overturned a lower court's decision not to hand back the works.
  • They are housed at the Modern Art Museum in Troyes and the Cantini Museum in Marseille.
  • The works, painted between 1907 and 1910, were taken as spoils when Gimpel was arrested.
