Ulrich Leman (1885-1988) was a German painter.

Born in Düsseldorf, he became interested in
painting at an early age and in 1919 he co-founded
the group "The Young Rheinland" with other young
painters of the day, including Otto Dix and Gert
Wollheim.

During the early 1920s Ulrich Leman was a
Meisterschüler under Heinrich Nauen at the
Düsseldorfer Akademie.

In 1927 he befriended Johanna Ey, who as "Mutter
Ey" became well known for her stewardship of young
and upcoming artists of the day. Leman became a
member of her circle, and his works began to
appear in her galleries.

At the end of the 1920s Leman made his first trip
to Mallorca and decided to move there. In 1930 the
artist finds himself at home in Deya, Mallorca.

This begins an intense time, up until his death,
of major accomplishments. With his renowned style
he incorporates the themes of the Spanish island,
its landscapes, people and their personalities. No
other artist has understood quite so well, the
characteristic features of the island, its appeal
and its inflexibility and captured it so well in
his works.

Ulrich Leman died in 1988 in Deya.
