About the Item
Medium: Pen & Ink with White Gouache Heightening on Paper
Signature: Monogrammed Lower Right
Kent was trained as an architectural draftsman and studied architecture at Columbia University. He is best known for his illustrations of adventure stories, such as Melville's "Moby Dick," and his landscapes of remote places, such as Alaska, Tierra del Fuego, and Greenland. He favored a precise rendering of forms, with strong contrasts of light and dark.. American painter, illustrator, 1882-1971
Rockwell Kent won fame outside of illustration as an engraver, lithographer, mural painter, writer, lecturer and political activist.
As an illustrator, Kent was equally noted for his own books: Wilderness, Voyaging, N. By E., Salamina, and This is My Own, as well as for those of others, such as Candide, Moby Dick, Leaves of Grass, and Canterbury Tales.
Kent also made a great many distinguished illustrations for advertisers, among them Marcus & Company, Jewelers; Steinway & Sons; Rolls-Royce, and American Car and Foundry Company. Some of his advertising and humorous pictures were signed “Hogarth, Jr.”
Born in Tarrytown Height, New York, Kent studied art with Robert Henri, Abbott Thayer and William Merritt Chase. Much of his work was based on personal experiences in his travels to such remote areas as Greenland, Alaska, and Patagonia.
During his lifetime, Kent was a controversial political activist, and his open sympathies with leftist causes resulted in his being blacklisted during the McCarthy era. In retaliation, Kent refused his title of National Academician when elected.
A retrospective exhibition of Kent’s work was shown at the Hammer Galleries in 1977, and he was elected to the Society of Illustrators’ Hall of Fame in 1986. A major retrospective exhibition, “The Odyssey of Rockwell Kent” relating to the artist’s sojourn in the wilderness, traveled to several museums in 2000 and 2001.

- Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), Mixed media on grey parchmentBy Howard TangyeLocated in London, GBHoward Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...Category
