Jeune garÃÆ'§on au cheval (English: Boy Leads Horse ) is an early painting by Pablo Picasso. This is the work of the Rose Period Picasso, which had been painted in 1905-06 in Paris.
The painting was first owned by Ambroise Vollard. Then through the hands of many people over the years:
- Gertrude and Leo Stein, c. 1907-c. 1913
- Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, c. 1934-1935. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy sold his masterpiece before his death from a heart attack in 1935 to the Thannhauser Jewish art gallery. There is a debate about whether the sale is done because of coercion. The family at that time had assets worth 170,000 Reichsmarks, equivalent to $ 5 to $ 10 million in 2009. Following the entry into force of an agreement between Germany and the US clarifying certain property rights of victims of the Nazi persecution, the descendants of von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy filed a lawsuit against the Museum of Modern Art in New York in an attempt to restore work. See the description of the Schoeps lawsuit below.
- Justin K. Thannhauser, 1935-1936; he sold it through Siegfried Rosengart.
- Albert Skira, 1936.
- William S. Paley, 1936-1964.
- Paley gave the work to the Museum of Modern Art.
Julius Schoeps, director of the Moses Mendelssohn institute for European Jewish studies at the University of Potsdam near Berlin, as heir to Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, sued the Museum in 2007 for the painting, and Jed S. Rakoff decided that Mendelssohn-Bartholdy had been forced to sell paintings by the Nazi Party. The Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation then sued the heirs, Julius Schoeps. However, the dispute was finally settled out of court in 2009, with the museum maintaining the job.
In the novel Vladimir Nabokov Pale Fire , Professor Kinbote said he was placed in his inn "Picasso's early reproduction of the beloved: the earth boy who leads the raincloud horse".
