Lee was a Norwegian-American artist who became famous for his beautifully conceived and executed nudes, heavily influenced by the Classic figures of Greece, Rome and the Renaissance. His male and female nudes, such as "Rhythm" and "Volupte," are collected by museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. See less
