The city of Manhattan was a favorite subject for artist and National Academician Adolf Dehn (1895-1968) and, until April 7, the Fairfield University Art Museum in Fairfield, Conn., presents some of Dehn’s most notable works for the public to experience in Adolph Dehn: Midcentury Manhattan. Dehn, perhaps best known as a lithographer, produced an impressive body of work that richly portrayed nightclub scenes, burlesque clubs and Central Park during the period between the 1920s and 1960s.
A central figure in the contemporary realists movement that began in the United States in the 1930s, Dehn holds the curious distinction of having been in more prestigious art shows than any other artist, including every Whitney Museum of American Art Annual and Biennial invitational exhibition dating from the Whitney’s first biennial in 1932. The current exhibition in the university museum’s Bellarmine Hall Galleries includes pastel, ink and pencil drawings, watercolors, casein paintings and a selection of lithographs. The exhibition corresponds with the release of Adolph Dehn: Midcentury Manhattan (The Artist Book Foundation, 2017) by Philip Eliasoph, who teaches art history at Fairfield University.
