Das Bunte Leben (The Colourful Life) is a tempera on canvas painting by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky, from 1907.

[2] On 3 March 2017, three of his heirs filed suit in New York City against Bayerische Landesbank who believe they now own it, in respect of the painting, now valued at $80 million.

[4][5][6] According to the commission Hedwig Lewenstein, the sole owner after her husband's death, loaned the painting to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

Under murky circumstance the artwork was "collected" from the museum in 1940 by an art dealer named Abraham Mozes Querido and then auctioned at Frederik Muller & Co, where it was purchased by Salomon B. Slijper.

Slijper concealed the painting during the war, and, after his death, his widow sold it, and it ended up in the possession of the Bayerische Landesbank.
