Default Help identify painting / artist No Country for Old Men

I REALLY hope someone can help me figure out anything about this painting i have. I picked it up at a garage sale about 10 years ago in San Antonio. I saw it and fell in love with it. I asked about it, but the women selling it said she just knew that her husband (past on) got it while he was in the army. I know i have seen the style before (probably in art class) when i was growing up. I could never figure out who it was by, so i just left it alone.................Until now. I was watching No Country for Old Men and then BAM, there is a scene with the exact same painting in it. So now i am on a mission to find something out about it or the artist. I really hope someone knows something.

If nobody is sure about the artist, can anyone else name the style or era?

It kind of seems like "School of Paris" to me, e.g. Bernard Buffet. I don't have any suggestions on who "E. Man." could be, though.

E. Man is what i thought the sig looks like also. I did a search in a artist database and didn't come up with anybody who had a last name Man. I would of past it off as just some random piece that some nobody artist did, but then it pops up in the movie. For anybody that has seen the movie, you know it's packed with symbology and hidden meanings. That painting was picked for that scene for a reason.
