Among the first generation of American modernist painters, Rockwell Kent rose to fame between the world wars as a visual poet of the natural world. This impressive volume includes a wide range of works from the Pushkin and Hermitage Museums in Russia, and illustrations for such literary classics as Canterbury Tales and Moby Dick. It also offers insights into the spiritual and intellectual influencesguiding Kent, and exposes his identity as a Jazz Age humourist Hogarth Jr. whose ink drawings captivated readers of Harper's Weekly and Vanity Fair. A list of solo exhibitions and a detailed chronology complete the publication.
