Kandinsky painting is to be restituted

In the dispute over the restitution of the painting “The Colorful Life” by Wassily Kandinsky to the heirs of the former Jewish owners, the budget committee of the Bavarian state parliament approved the return of the painting in its closed session on Wednesday. This is reported by the German Press Agency, citing information from several committee members. The Committee is thus following the recommendation of the Advisory Commission on the return of cultural property confiscated as a result of Nazi persecution, also known as the Limbach Commission.
