Abstract: 
The German government advisory panel said Colorful Life, a Kandinsky painting displayed in the Lenbachhaus, should be returned to the family who owned it prior to World War II. The government panel’s decision, while not legally binding, has led the current owner to return the painting to the original heirs.
