Lie was one of the most celebrated landscape painters of his era. Both rebellious and conservative, he led a revolt against the jury system of the National Academy of design. Yet, unlike many of his compatriots, he remained a member of the Academy and eventually, became its president. He is remembered as a kindly and generous man; in 1925, he made a gift of a magnificent painting of [[Mount Baker\|Mount Baker]] from [[Highland Park\|Highland Park]] to the physicians of Saranac Lake in recognition of their work. The painting was hung in the Saranac Lake Free Library, that it might be available for viewing by everyone, and you can see it there today. Currently, there is an exhibition of 31 of Jonas Lie's paintings at the Spanierman Gallery in New York City.		…Norwegian-American painter Jonas Lie (pronounced "Lee") occupied first the house at [[135 Park Avenue\|135 (now 308) Park Ave.]] and, later the house at [[157 Park Avenue\|157 (now 382) Park Ave.]] He lived here with his wife, the dancer Anga Sontum, [''sic''] who was here for her health, and their daughter Sonja, who attended [[Saranac Lake High School]].
