Disturbing the past: 84-year-old Claude Cassirer of San Diego has filed a lawsuit to recover the above strokes of genius by Camille Pissarro, "Rue Saint-Honore, Afternoon, Rain Effect", claiming that it was taken from his family by the Nazis. It now hangs in Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. A fine painting, which fills me with nostalgia for the good old days when it used to rain.
