林茨市归还犹太后裔家族克利姆特绘画

          林茨市长Franz Dobusch昨天宣布，该市将一幅被纳粹掠夺的由古斯塔夫·克利姆特（Gustav Klimt）所作的一幅女人(Ria Munk)肖像归还给犹太后裔家族。

         一位独立专家证实这幅油画被纳粹从Munk女士处没收，之后她被投入集中营死于1941年。家庭律师Alfred Noll在2007年申请归还这幅作品。该作品二战后被林茨市收藏。

        克利姆特是奥地利象征主义和维也纳新艺术主义（维也纳分离派）运动卓越的画家之一。他的主要作品包括油画、壁画和素描等，许多都在维也纳分离派画廊（Vienna Secession gallery）展出。克利姆特创作主要主题是女性人体，他的作品特点是性愛主題。更多现市的是他大量铅笔素描。

City of Linz to Return Gustav Klimt Painting to Descendants of Jewish Family 
LINZ.- The Mayor of Linz, Franz Dobusch, announced yesterday that the town will return the painting titled, Portrait of a Woman (Ria Munk) made by Gustav Klimt to the descendants of a Jewish family who were robbed of it by the Nazis.
An independent expert has confirmed the painting was seized from Mrs Munk by the Nazis after she was deported to a concentration camp where she died in 1941.
Family lawyer Alfred Noll applied in 2007 for the return of the painting, which made its way into Linz's collection from an art dealer after the Second World War.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.
