Adolf Dehn was a prominent 20th-century lithographer known for his technical prowess and portrayals of human eccentricities. His work is featured in over 80 museums, including all major New York City museums, and he holds the record for the most inclusions in the Whitney Museum of American Art's "Annual" and "Biennial" exhibitions.
Born in Waterville, Minnesota in 1895, Dehn began creating art early, focusing on ink drawings and lithographs by 1920. His work, which appeared in Vanity Fair, Vogue, and New Yorker, captured the Roaring '20s, the Depression era, and New York City. In the late 1940s, he took on commercial commissions, creating drawings and watercolors of oil fields and industrial activities in Venezuela, Mexico, and Louisiana.
