Born in Tarrytown, New York, Rockwell Kent's artistic education included
architecture studies at Columbia University, painting at the Shinnecock
School, and printmaking under artists of the Ashcan School. While most
famously a landscape painter and printmaker, Kent was also a political
activist. Kent created prints for politically charged magazines and contributed
illustrations for American literary classics including Moby Dick. |
