The American realist Rockwell Kent was born in Tarrytown, New York and first studied painting in 1900 under William Merritt Chase while attending the Columbia University School of Architecture. In 1904 he enrolled in the New York School of Art, where he studied under Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller. Kent’s many interests—architecture, painting, illustration, carpentry, and writing—were enhanced by the widespread, often exotic, locales he visited.
He was grounded in the American realist tradition and rarely painted urban scenes like his contemporaries George Bellows and John Sloan. The Federal Public Works Administration commissioned Kent in 1935 to paint two murals for the new post office building in Washington, D.C. He enjoyed acclaim as a major American artist during the 1930s.

Rockwell Kent
Rockwell Kent, (1882-1971) was born in Plattsburgh, New York). As a painterand printmaker his work was captured scenes of nature and adventure with a sense of drama that made him one of the most popular American artists of the first half of the 20th century. Kent studied architecture at Columbia University but turned to painting and was a pupil of William M. Chase, Robert Henri, and Abbott Thayer. Best known as an artist and illustrator he worked as an architectural draftsman, as a lobsterman and carpenter on the coast of Maine, and as a ship’s carpenter. He explored the waters about Tierra del Fuego in a small boat and lived in Newfoundland, Alaska, and Greenland, drawing heavily upon these experiences for his paintings and travel books. Kent’s human figures, which appear sparingly in his work, often signify mythic themes, such as heroism, loneliness, and individualism.
