Artist Bio: Rockwell Kent (1882–1971) was an American painter, printmaker, and illustrator known for his dramatic landscapes and book illustrations. Born in Tarrytown, New York, he studied at Columbia University and the Art Students League. Kent’s work often features rugged natural scenes inspired by his travels to Alaska, Greenland, and Tierra del Fuego. His distinctive style blends realism with bold compositions, and his illustrations include works for Moby-Dick and Canterbury Tales. His art is held in major museums, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
