Otto Wittmann, director of the Toledo Museum of Art from 1959 to 1977, tells the "strange story" of how paintings by Degas and Cézanne came to Toledo in his interview "The museum in the creation of community".
According to the website of the Toledo Museum of Art, William Levis donated one Degas and one Cézanne to the Museum. Could these be the same Degas and Cézanne Otto Wittmann says were loaned to the National Gallery of Art by art dealers during World War II?

WITTMANN: "I'll tell you one strange story about the National Gallery..."
WITTMANN: "I'll tell you one strange story about the National Gallery...Once I went to the National Gallery and noticed that some pictures were missing. I went to the curator and said, 'What happened to the wonderful Degas, Manet and Monet - gone - and the Cézanne? He said, 'You probably thought they belonged to us and so did most people, but they didn't; they were lent to us during the war for safekeeping. We put them on the walls and we never indicated who they belonged to, but after the war some of the owners asked that they be returned.'

"These owners were well-known collectors in New York. I said, 'What'd they do that for?' And he said, 'I don't know, but I've heard that they're putting them on the market.'"

"At the same time, in Toledo, a man who I knew very well - one of the trustees of the museum - said to me...William Levis was his name...Just tell me what you'd buy, and how much it costs, and I'll buy it..."

"I knew the museum was going to get the picture, not only those, but other pictures as well that he had bought previously. they all came to the museum in the end."
