Adolf Dehn (November 22, 1895 – May 19, 1968), born in Waterville, Minnesota, helped shape the Regionalism, Social Realism, and caricature movements, often creating lithographs featuring landscapes and social commentary. Though he began creating art at the age of six, Dehn’s formal art education began in 1914 at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts and continued at the Art Students League in New York. In 1921, he joined a group of artists and intellectuals in Europe which included Andrée Ruellan, Gertrude Stein, and E. E. Cummings. In the early 1930s, Dehn established The Adolf Dehn Print Club and helped found the Associated American Artists. He worked as an instructor at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center during the 1940s, but throughout much of his career, Dehn supported himself by publishing his art, usually cartoons and caricatures, in magazines including The New Yorker and Vogue. He has received commendations including two Guggenheim Fellowships (1939, 1951). Dehn’s work is held in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.; and the British Museum, London.
