Sumpflegende

Legend of the Marsh (in German, Sumpflegende) is an oil painting on cardboard by the German painter Paul Klee made in 1919. The painting has been the property of the Lenbachhaus Museum in Munich since 1982, but this property is the subject of controversy due to the provenance of the painting. In 1937, considered by the Nazis as "degenerate", it had been confiscated from the Lower Saxony Provincial Museum in Hanover, even though it was then a loan from the art historian Sophie Lissitzky-Küppers.
