Still Life with Fruit and Bottle (c.1916) — Henri Matisse (Gurlitt collection pattern)

Oil on canvas by Henri Matisse, c.1916. Interior still life characteristic of Matisse's Nice period preamble and his Cubist-influenced wartime works. This node represents the class of Matisse works associated with the Hildebrand Gurlitt collection pattern: Gurlitt (1895–1956) was a Nazi-era art dealer who served the Sonderauftrag Linz and ERR, accumulating French modernist works including Matisse canvases. The discovery of approximately 1,500 works in Cornelius Gurlitt's Munich apartment (2012) triggered the Gurlitt task force investigation under the German Lost Art Foundation.
