In pictures: Long-lost art unveiled in Germany
- Published
This unregistered self-portrait by German expressionist painter Otto Dix is one of the most striking finds in a hidden store of pre-war art being investigated by the German authorities in Munich. At least some of the works were seized by the Nazis from their original owners.
Images of the paintings were projected at a news conference. This is another Dix painting. Such work was mocked by the Nazis as "degenerate".
The German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was also branded a "degenerate". This picture, entitled Melancholic Girl, was not previously listed.
This painting is by another expressionist, Franz Marc, who was killed in action during World War One.
This impressionistic picture, Two Riders on the Beach, was painted by German Jewish artist Max Liebermann.
One of the non-German highlights in the hidden collection is this painting by Marc Chagall, the Jewish painter from Belarus who settled in France.
Another non-German work is this painting by French artist Henri Matisse - Seated Woman.
The Munich trove of more than 1,400 works also includes older artists, such as French realist Gustave Courbet.
