For one, his name is probably Leo Jansen, so that may be why you can't find anything.


12/2/75.Brief syn:Born in Holland 1930, moved to
Dutch Indonesia age 10 and began his craft sketching Malasian girls. Returned to to study at Academy of Arts in Netherlands.Went to Paris & established himself as a portrait artist, then New York in 1962. Soon went back to his childhood love...nudes.Considered a contemporary master.

Read the replies here and you'll get some information. Also you can ask your question on that board. They seem knowledgeable.

There might be more if you speak Dutch, which I don't. Here's a second vote for stalking the antique roadshow people.
