Jonas Lie (painter)

Jonas Lie (painter)

Jonas Lie (1880 - 1940) was a Norwegian-born painter who matured in America. He often depicted the sea, channels, and ships with dramatic perspective and powerful use of color.

When asked how to say his name, he told "The Literary Digest" "The correct pronunciation of my name is "yonas lee". Although I have adopted the anglicized pronunciation of "Jonas" in this country, "Lie", however, is pronounced "lee" in Scandinavia, and I have insisted upon it in English also." (Charles Earle Funk, "What's the Name, Please?", Funk & Wagnalls, 1936.)
