About the Item
ADOLF DEHN (1895 – 1968)
ORIGINAL ART FOR THE COVER OF THE NEW MASSES, c.1930. Original ink drawing. Signed in ink lower right. Sheet and image 19 1/2 x 15 inches. The New Masses was published from 1926 – 1948. It succeeded the The Masses 1912-17. Both Publications had a left leaning Marxist perspective. Many prominent artists and writers appeared in the many issues. Aside from Adolf Dehn, among the contributors were, Rockwell Kent, William Gropper, John Sloan, Louis Lozowick, Art Young, Hugo Gallert, Harry Sternberg, Boardman Robinson, Jan Matulka, Wanda Gag and Otto Soglow. Some of the writers and composers were Aaron Copeland, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Upton Sinclair and many others. Dehn also illustrated for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. He produced a large body of lithographs for Associated American Artists (AAA) and was a Regionalist painter.
This very rare ink drawing may not have been published. So it is likely the only record of the image and a scarce example of Dehn’s contribution to the New Masses. Other Dehn drawings have been located in the New Masses.

- ELLSBERG - PENTAGON PAPERS TRIAL - Original Drawing - Leonard Weinglass AttorneyLocated in Santa Monica, CADAVID ROSE (1910 – 2006) LEONARD WEINGLASS - ELLSBERG TRIAL, 1973 Color marking pen on tracing paper. Image 12 ½ x 11 inches, sheet 15 x 18 ½ inches. Very fresh, in good condition with bright colors save for horizontal creases at the lower sheet edge slightly into the image and a few other soft creases. Leonard Weinglass along with Leonard Boudin were attorneys for Anthony Russo and Daniel Ellsberg at the Pentagon Papers Trial in 1973. Upon his death in 2011 the NY Times called Weinglass, “perhaps the nation’s pre-eminent progressive defense lawyer, who represented political renegades Provenance: Directly from the artist David Rose to this dealer in the late 1980’s. I knew David as an artist and friend as we both lived in Los Angeles. It has been in temperature and humidity storage since its acquisition. The Ellsberg Trial was the beginning of a long career for Rose as a court reporter Rose’s papers are in Special Collections of USC, The University of Southern California. The Online Archives of California Rose Biography states: Rose's courtroom career began in 1973 with the trial of Daniel Ellsberg, the former defense analyst who released the Pentagon Papers regarding the Viet Nam War to the New York Times. (Rose received an Emmy Award nomination for his coverage of the Pentagon Papers trial.) Rose's sketches of this trial-- along with all those that would follow through the next twenty-five years-- appeared in television news broadcasts and newspapers all over the world. He saw himself as a reporter-- but with colored pencils and sketchpads as his tools. He tried to capture the emotions in the courtroom-- the tension, anger, and the body language that conveyed them. Over the years, Rose's art depicted the trials of some of the most famous-- and infamous-- personalities to make the news: Klaus Barbie (the Butcher of Lyon), Patty Hearst, Sirhan Sirhan, John Z.
