Dutch Painter
'Three Sisters'
Signature: signed top right 'Krabbé'
Medium: watercolour heightened with white
Dimensions: image size 60,5 x 50,5 cm, frame size 85 x 75 cm
Biogtaphy: Hendrik Maarten Krabbé, also known as Heinrich Martin Krabbé, was a distinguished Dutch painter, draftsman, watercolorist, etcher, illustrator, and lithographer. Born in London on May 4, 1868, and passing away in Amsterdam on December 22, 1931, Krabbé left a significant artistic legacy.
After one year of attending the Higher Civic School (HBS), Krabbé was forced to abandon formal education due to tuberculosis, but he continued to develop his talent with private drawing lessons at home. From 1883 to 1888, he pursued his studies at the School of Applied Arts and the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam, where he trained under notable artists such as August Allebé and Rudolf Stang, learning techniques in drawing, painting, watercoloring, etching, and lithography.
In 1896, Krabbé began his career as a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Haarlem, a position he held for a decade. His influence extended to many future renowned artists, including Charles Beck, Ger Gerrits...

Frame included: held in vintage frame with original label as provenance
Dehn, an influential artist and teacher (and author of the definitive textbook of his era on watercolor painting) joined Associated American Artists gallery in 1941. Although this painting is undated, it is likely circa early 1950s, as in 1951 Dehn won a Guggenheim Fellowship, which enabled him to travel to Haiti -- the subject of this work. It was part of a series inspired by Dehn's visit to Haiti.

ADLOF DEHN
Adolf Dehn, American Watercolorist and Printmaker, 1895-1968
Adolf Dehn was an artist who achieved extraordinary artistic heights, but in a very particular artistic sphere - not so much in oil painting as in watercolor and lithography. Long recognized as a master by serious print collectors, he is gradually gaining recognition as a notable and influential figure in the overall history of American art.
In the 19th century, with the invention of the rotary press, which made possible enormous print runs, and the development of the popular, mass-market magazines, newspaper and magazine illustration developed into an artistic realm of its own, often surprisingly divorced from the world of museums and art exhibitions, and today remains surprisingly overlooked by most art historians. Dehn in many regards was an outgrowth of this world, although in an unusual way, since as a young man he produced most of his illustrative work not for popular magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, but rather for radical journals, such as The Masses or The Liberator, or artistic "little magazines" such as The Dial. This background established the foundation of his outlook, and led later to his unique and distinctive contribution to American graphic art.
If there’s a distinctive quality to his work, it was his skill in introducing unusual tonal and textural effects into his work, particularly in printmaking but also in watercolor. Jackson Pollock seems to have been one of many notable artists who were influenced by his techniques.
Early Years, 1895 - 1922
For an artist largely remembered for scenes of Vienna and Paris, Adolf Dehn’s background was a surprising one.
