...looking-glass frames from the Moses attic. Sophisticated Manhattan gallery-goers were charmed by her carefully stippled flower beds, speckled snowstorms, shutter-green mountains. Again Manhattan critics raved: "A challenge to scores of more sophisticated painters," compared her canvases to those of famed German exile George Grosz...

But Dehn does more than hold his own. His clear, wind-washed landscapes are executed in a manner similar to that of Edward Hopper. The colors are neutralized but are far from dirty; Dehn's whole technique is that of a careful, better-than-average artist...
