‘J. J. Enwright’ is one of many pseudonyms employed by Cappy Amundsen throughout his artistic career. It is said that he used these aliases as a marketing strategy, to avoid oversaturating the market with too many paintings by the same artist. He created complex biographies for each of his identities, inspired by real people he admired.
