About the Item
Adolf Dehn's, lithograph on chine collé, Curtain or The Flora Dora Girls, is an ode to burlesque with dancing girls and fabulous costumes. It comes on the heals of a 1930 pre-code movie with Marion Davies, The Floradora Girl. It's the figure at the extreme right that really charms me. Dehn manages, with about four lines, to convey a wonderful 'I've seen it all,' expression
Adolf Dehn (1895-1968) was an American painter, printmaker and draftsman. A native of Waterville, Minnesota, he attended the Minneapolis School of Art where he met colleague Wanda Gag. Amazingly they were both awarded scholarships to the Art Students League in 1917. Dehn made his first lithograph, ironically titled The Harvest, in 1921, printed by George Miller. His career was off! That same year, 1921, his lithographs were featured in his first one-man show, at the Weyhe Gallery.
Eventually his subjects fell into two camps: caricatures or spoofs – preferably of high society types, or elegantly composed landscapes. While he remained a New Yorker, he was also a world traveler who was never at loss for material.
Dehn was an academician of the National Academy of Design, a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and twice a recipient of Guggenheim Fellowships. He taught at both the Broadmoor Art Academy and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, and was a founding member of the gallery Associated American Artists, NYC, all in the 1930s.
This impression is from the edition of 10 -- about half the Dehn's usual size. It is signed, titled 'Curtain,' and numbered, in pencil. The reference is Lumsdaine/O'Sullivan 243.

ABOUT THIS WORK
The French economy boomed from 1921 until the Great Depression reached Paris in 1931. This period called 'Les années folles' or the 'Crazy Years', saw Paris reestablished as a capital of art, music, literature, and cinema. Paris in the 1920s and 1930s was the home and meeting place of some of the world's most prominent painters, sculptors, composers, dancers, poets, and writers. For those in the arts, it was, as Ernest Hemingway described it, "A moveable feast". Paris was home to an exceptional number of galleries, art dealers, and a network of wealthy patrons who offered commissions and held salons.
Pablo Picasso, perhaps the most famous artist in Paris, shared renown with a remarkable group of others, including the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, the Belgian René Magritte, the Italian Amedeo Modigliani, the Russian émigré Marc Chagall, the Catalan and Spanish artists Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Juan Gris, and the German surrealist...
