The heirs of a Jewish art collector whose home was looted by German occupation troops in October 1940 believe that one of hundreds of paintings seized on that occasion now hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The painting, Picasso's ''Still Life: Job,'' of 1916, is among 15 works recently identified by the museum as having incomplete provenance records from the World War II era.Francis Warin, who represents the heirs of Alphonse Kann, one of France's most important prewar collectors, said that he had photographs showing the small Cubist work on the wall of Mr. Kann's home in St.-Germain-en-Laye outside Paris in the late 1920's. He said there was no evidence that the oil was sold on the market before the Nazi raid on the house, in which Mr. Kann's entire collection of more than 1,000 works was seized. (English)
