About the Item
Twenty hand-signed, numbered, and titled images based on the selected work of Maupsassant.
Portfolio containing 20 lithographs based on selected tales by de Maupassant, printed on handmade Lawrence Barrett paper. Each lithograph measures 21 1/4 x 16 15/16 inches (540 x 430 mm), with full margins, and is signed, titled, and numbered by Dehn. Presented along with a signed and numbered limitation page identifying the portfolio as being number 160/250 in the series. Lacking the cloth case; each impression in excellent condition, the complete set. [Lumsdaine/O'Sullivan 1987, 390].
A native Minnesotan, Dehn is remembered as a prolific artist of great range. His artworks are held in over 100 museums (including the National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art); over 25 museums hold extensive collections of his work.
"Many of Dehn's prints are made using tusche, a liquid lithographic medium which allows for fluid effects. He has been called the "Debussy of American lithography" and "Dean of American lithography" by printmaking experts Clinton Adams and Philadelphia Museum of Art's Prints and Drawings curator, Carl Zigrosser. With his art Dehn introduced new techniques that had never before been used in lithography, and was praised as one of the world's leading printmakers."

With the blindstamp of the printer, Robert E. Townsend, in the lower left margin. A beautiful, richly inked impression of this highly detailed, large image. In very good condition with minor mat tone, extremely minor scattered light surface soiling, and one pin-point sized dot of brown discoloration on the lower left margin, recto, well outside of image area.
[Milton 99].
Milton states that there is a metaphorical evolution at the root of his body of graphic work, and with Les Belles et la Bête, Before the Hunt, he found himself at a crossroads that he viewed as a sort of artistic adolescence, which he felt demanded a natural examination of mysteries of sexual awakening. The image is brimming with fantastical images and metaphors for the confrontation of sexual exploration; a Freudian analyst appears in the left of the image, scattered tableaus of paired figures...
