Dear Claudia,
The Demai 徳邁 name is not a Chinese name. it is the transcription of "dermeersch" preceded by Wang 汪 for
Van. This name was coined and given to him by Li Zhihua 李治華 the French language translator of the Chinese literary masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber"
He has written books and articles on Chinese painting and calligraphy (bone script was one of his specialty)
I have read somewhere that he used to learn Chinese painting too. There is a possibility that the screen painting is from him - or from an impostor. In China everything is possible.

With regards,
I.Nagy
