About the artist — J. E. Lemke was a German painter of mountain landscapes, reportedly born in Stuttgart in 1919. Very little biographical record of him survives; he is known through his signed oils — refined Alpine scenes with sharp, clean lines, in the mid-century Munich manner. He was a different painter from Arno Lemke (1916–1981), whose dates are sometimes mistakenly attached to J. E.'s work, and no relationship between the two is documented. See less
