Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was born in Tarrytown Heights, New York. Kent rejected forms of European modernism in favor of a highly condensed and simplified style. His wood-engravings and lithographs are generally narrative, symbolic or political. Kent had a Promethean concept of human aspiration and poetic creativity reminiscent of William Blake. Kent's works suggests human greatness by the isolation and monumentalization of the figure and its gestures.
This work is in a stress textured beeswax 17 1/8" x 20" frame. The wood fillet is a weathered black that complements the stone texture of the lithograph. The Seurat Sand linen acid and lignin free mat is protected with Acrylite-AR OP3 (UV) by CYRO ………… SOLD |
