Jean Lehmann
Jean Lehmann was a Swiss painter, graphic artist and sculptor.
Jean graduated from the Lucerne School of Applied Arts, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Lehmann worked at the Glacier Gardens in Lucerne and as a guide in mountain hotels, so many of his paintings are mountain snow-covered landscapes. The artist was particularly fond of painting rustic landscapes, rural scenes of quiet life, and he also created portraits and still lifes in a wide variety of techniques. He also painted a series of watercolors and chalk drawings of Swiss traditional costumes.
Lehmann also worked in the advertising business, creating posters for sporting events and travel companies.
