Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Paul Cézanne" in English language version.
In a recent article for Zurich newspaper Die Wochenzeitung, Keller accused the foundation of whitewashing the provenance of Cézanne's painting Paysage (around 1879). Among Keller's objections to the provenance description on the foundation's website is the failure to note that the pre-war owners, Berthold and Martha Nothmann, were forced to flee Germany as Jews in 1939. (The website says only that they "left Germany" that year.)
According to Michel Dauberville, however, "Sam Salz bought quite a number of items from Gaston, my grandfather's brother, after the war. He said that he bought this painting in 1936, but, in fact, he bought it in Switzerland in 1945–46. The painting belonged to Josse. In 1941 it was in Josse's gallery, in his safe, and it was stolen. It is listed (no.1947) in the inventory of goods looted in France during the war". According to Mr Dauberville, the painting was acquired by Sam Salz from the Swiss family Janninck-Veraguth.
