About the Item

In excellent condition with full margins and deckle edges. A wonderful social commentary from the 1930's in Adolf Dehn’s well-known satirical style. Born in Waterville, Minnesota, Adolf Dehn began creating artwork at the age of 6. For the first two decades of his student and professional life he worked in watercolor. By1920, after formal training as an illustrator and lithographer, he began to create ink drawings and lithographs, which he was able to sell to support himself though the depression. In the early 1920's Dehn moved to Europe, and he developed his imagery for the decade. He returned to the Midwest during the depression and by 1936 was working again in the watercolor medium. During the 30's and 40's, Dehn's favorite subjects were the farmscapes of the Midwest and later the Northeast. His eventual home of New York City also became a frequent subject matter for Dehn, who captured the essence of the city's burlesque, Central Park, Harlem nightclubs, industrial yards and high society. Dehn died in New York City in May 1968 and left behind a vast body of lithographs, watercolors, drawings and prints, which are in the permanent collections of nearly 100 museums across the United States and Europe.
