Last March when I visited the Musée de'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, I found a copy of the museum catalogue in the gift shop and with my iPhone photographed the images of the stolen paintings. This book can also be found in libraries around the world, such as the copy I found in the Getty Center's library. If the paintings were selected by someone who hired the thief, and of course this is pure speculation as the police have released no current information about the theft, a visit to the museum is not mandatory.
Again, in the event you may come across one of these paintings, here's the list of the five stolen artworks and their full-page images as shown in the museum catalogue:
 |
| Amdedeo Modigliani, La Femme à l'éventail (Lunia Czechowska), 1919, oil on canvas, 100 x 65 cm |
 |
| Pablo Picasso, Le Pigeon aux petits pois, 1911, oil on canvas, 64 x 53 cm |
 |
| Georges Braque, L'Olivier près de l'Estaque, 1906, oil on canvas, 50 x 61 cm |
 |
| Fernand Léger, Nature morte au chandelier, 1922, oil on canvas, 116 x 80 cm. |
 |
| Henri Matisse, Le Pastorale, 1905, oil on canvas, 46 x 55 cm. |
