About the Item

Captured on canvas with delicate impressionist strokes, this oil painting transports us to the bustling streets of San Francisco. On the left, a vintage blue-green tram glides towards the foreground. Opposite, a lone bicyclist casually passes by the tram. To the right, a local store protected by a green awning which offers shade to a wanderer standing in front of it. In the distance, a picturesque tableau unfolds - a tapestry of verdant trees and timeless cityscape. The artist's brushwork imbues the scene with a palpable sense of serenity, offering a quiet glimpse into the city's everyday rhythm. The tram, an iconic emblem of San Francisco, takes center stage, symbolizing both continuity and change in this ever-evolving metropolis. Through this brushwork, we are invited by the artist to revel in the harmonious coexistence of the old and the new, the dynamic and the tranquil, that define the heartbeat of the city.

San Francisco Cable Car WPA Artist Adolf Dehn Modernist Art Gouache Oil Painting
By Adolf Dehn
Located in Surfside, FL
ADOLF ARTHUR DEHN (American, 1895-1969) San Francisco Bay Area street scene, with Trolley, Streetcar, Cable Car with bay and Alcatraz Island in background. Hand signed LRC. Sight 19" x 15", overall 23" x 19". Adolf Dehn (November 22, 1895 – May 19, 1968) was an American artist known mainly as a lithographer. Throughout his artistic career, he participated in and helped define some important movements in American art, including regionalism, social realism, and caricature. A two-time recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, he was known for both his technical skills and his high-spirited, droll depictions of human foibles. Adolph Dehn was born in 1895 in Waterville, Minnesota. He began creating artwork at the age of six, and by the time of his death had created nearly 650 images. Dehn went to the Minneapolis School of Art (known today as the Minneapolis College of Art and Design), where he met and became a close friend of Wanda Gag. In 1917 he and Gág were two of only a dozen students in the country to earn a scholarship to the Art Students League of New York. He was drafted to serve in World War I in 1918, but declared himself a conscientious objector and spent four months in a guardhouse detention camp in Spartanburg, SC and then worked for eight months as a painting teacher at an arm rehabilitation hospital in Asheville, NC. Later, Dehn returned to the Art Students League for another year of study and created his first lithograph, The Harvest. In 1921 Dehn's lithographs were featured in his first exhibition at Weyhe Gallery in New York City. From 1920 to 1921 in Manhattan, he was connected to New York's politically left-leaning activists. In 1921, he went to Europe. In Paris and Vienna he belonged to a group of expatriate intellectuals and artists, including Andrée Ruellan, Gertrude Stein, and ee cummings...
