Adolf Dehn

Born in Waterville, Minnesota, in 1895, Dehn studied at the Minneapolis Art Institute and the Art Students League. Traveling to Europe in the early 1920's, he studied lithography with the French printer, Edmond Desjobert, enabling Dehn to project more tonal quality in his prints. Receiving two Guggenheim Fellowships, he traveled to Haiti and Mexico, where his compositions became larger in scale and simpler in form. Credited with more than 300 prints, his art contains landscapes, satirical works, and the depiction of human nature.
