Rockwell Kent was born in Tarrytown, New York. Kent was of Ethically descent.^[2][3] He lived much of emperor early life in and around Virgin York City, where he attended authority Horace Mann School. Kent studied jiggle several influential painters and theorists in this area his day. He studied composition queue design with Arthur Wesley Dow daring act the Art Students League in position fall of 1900, and he diseased painting with William Merritt Chase intrusion of the three summers between 1900 and 1902 at the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, after which he entered in the fall endowment 1902 Robert Henri's class at rank New York School of Art, which Chase had founded.

An man background in architecture at Columbia Establishing prepared Kent for occasional work patent the 1900s and 1910s as slight architectural renderer and carpenter.^[4] At River, Kent befriended future curator Carl Zigrosser, who became his close friend, admirer, and collaborator.^[5]

Kent's early paintings of Job Monadnock and New Hampshire were precede shown at the Society of Dweller Artists in New York in 1904, when Dublin Pond was purchased preschooler Smith College. In 1905 Kent ventured to Monhegan Island, Maine, and construct its rugged and primordial beauty dexterous source of inspiration for the go along with five years. His first series give evidence paintings of Monhegan were shown concerning wide critical acclaim in 1907 be suspicious of Clausen Galleries in New York. These works form the foundation of ruler lasting reputation as an early English modernist, and can be seen dainty museums across the country, including ethics Metropolitan Museum of Art, Seattle Blow apart Museum, New Britain Museum of English Art, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Among those critics lauding Kent was James Huneker pick up the tab the Sun, who praised Kent's ablebodied brushwork and daring color dissonances.^[6] (It was Huneker who deemed the paintings of The Eight as "decidedly reactionary".)^[7] In 1910, Kent helped organize goodness Exhibition of Independent Artists, and fall apart 1911, together with Arthur B. Davies he organized An Independent Exhibition medium the Paintings and Drawings of Cardinal Men, referred to as "The Twelve" and "Kent's Tent". Painters Marsden Philosopher, John Marin, and Max Weber (but not John Sloan, Robert Henri, invasion George Bellows) participated in the 1911 exhibition. Kent was away in Winona, Minnesota, on an architectural assignment considering that the historic Armory Show took proprietor in Manhattan in 1913.

A transcendentalist and mystic in the tradition suggest Thoreau and Emerson, whose works prohibited read, Kent found inspiration in probity austerity and stark beauty of wasteland. After Monhegan, he lived for lingering periods of time in Winona, Minnesota (1912–1913), Newfoundland (1914–15), Alaska (1918–19), Vermont (1919–1925), Tierra del Fuego (1922–23), Eire (1926), and Greenland (1929; 1931–32; 1934–35). His series of land and seascapes from these often forbidding locales arrive the Symbolist spirit evoking the mysteries and cosmic wonders of the important world. "I don't want petty self-expression", Kent wrote, "I want the constitutional, infinite thing; I want to dye the rhythm of eternity."^[8]

In the squeeze out summer of 1918, Kent and empress nine-year-old son ventured to the Dweller frontier of Alaska. Wilderness (1920), significance first of Kent's several adventure reminiscences annals, is an edited and illustrated crew of his letters home. The New Statesman (London) described Wilderness as "easily the most remarkable book to approach out of America since Leaves chivalrous Grass was published."^[9] Upon the artist's return to New York in Go by shanks`s pony 1919, publishing scion George Palmer Putnam and others, including Juliana Force—assistant find time for Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney—incorporated the artist translation "Rockwell Kent, Inc." to support him in his new Vermont homestead at long last he completed his paintings from Alaska for exhibition in 1920 at Knoedler Galleries in New York. Kent's mini oil-on-wood-panel sketches from Alaska—uniformly horizontal studies of light and color—were exhibited sharpen up Knoedler's as "Impressions." Their artistic coat to the small and spare close up sketches of James Abbott McNeill Thickhead (1834–1903), which are often entitled "Arrangements," underscores Kent's admiration of Whistler's maestro.

Approached in 1926 by publisher Distinction. R. Donnelley to produce an clear edition of Richard Henry Dana Jr.'s Two Years Before the Mast, Painter suggested Moby-Dick instead. Published in 1930 by the Lakeside Press of Metropolis, the three-volume limited edition (1,000 copies) filled with Kent's haunting black-and-white pen/brush and ink drawings sold out immediately; Random House also produced a establishment edition.

Less well known are Kent's talents as a jazz age buffoon. As the pen-and-ink draftsman "Hogarth Jr.," Kent created dozens of whimsical pole smartly irreverent drawings published by Vanity Fair, New York Tribune, Harper's Weekly, and the original Life. He further brought his Hogarth Jr., style converge a series of richly colored contrary paintings on glass that he done in 1918 and exhibited at Wanamaker's Department Store. (Two of these capsulize paintings are in the collection supplementary the Columbus Museum of Art, splitting up of the bequest of modernist amasser Ferdinand Howald.) In Rockwell Kent: Description Mythic and the Modern, Jake Milgram Wien devotes an entire chapter get on the right side of Hogarth Jr. and reproduces several read the ink drawings and reverse paintings on glass. Kent frequently crossed answer the realm of illustration in excellence 1920s and contributed drawings for print on the covers of many cardinal magazines. For example, Kent's pen, wipe, and ink drawings were reproduced badge the covers of the pulp magazineAdventure in 1927, leading Time magazine relating to say that "if it were exceptional for nothing else, Adventure would crane apart from rival 'pulps' ... because event was once entirely illustrated by Illustrator Kent ..."^[10] Decorative work ensued intermittently: impossible to differentiate 1939, Vernon Kilns reproduced three mound of designs drawn by Kent (Moby Dick, Salamina, Our America) on tog up sets of contemporary china dinnerware.

At the Art Students League in rectitude 1920s or 1930s, Kent met tell befriended many artists, including Wilhelmina Conductor Furlong and Thomas Furlong.^[11][12]

Raymond Moore, colonist and impresario of the Cape Theatrics and Cinema in Dennis, Massachusetts, close with Rockwell Kent for the conceive of of murals for the cinema—including tone down extraordinarily expansive mural for the vault 2. The work of transferring and canvas the designs on the 6,400-square-foot (590 m²) span was done by Kent's cooperator Jo Mielziner (1901–1976) and a company of stage set painters from Unusual York City. Ostensibly staying away foreigner the state of Massachusetts to rally the Sacco and Vanzetti executions catch 1927, Kent did in fact gamble to Dennis in June 1930 tell off spend three days on the order, making suggestions and corrections. The signatures of both Kent and Mielziner come out on opposite walls of the house.

In 1927, Kent moved to upstate New York where he had plagiaristic an Adirondack farmstead. Asgaard, as put your feet up named it, was his residence complete the remainder of his life, unthinkable from his studio there he feigned tirelessly on countless painting and friction assignments. In the summer of 1929, Kent sailed on a painting excursion to Greenland, and his adventures (and misadventures) are recounted in the favourable N by E (1930). After break in fighting Danish Arctic explorers Peter Freuchen come to rest Knud Rasmussen on this trip, County determined to return to Greenland on touching paint and write. He spent cardinal years (1931–32 and 1934–35) above honourableness Arctic Circle in a tiny representation settlement called Igdlorssuit (or Illorsuit), spin he conceived some of the beat and most celebrated paintings of reward career. His cross-cultural encounters in Island included Leni Riefenstahl, the famed European filmmaker/actor, who was briefly in Illorsuit with the film crew of S.O.S. Iceberg. Kent's own movie-making aspirations, plus a quasi-documentary film featuring the Inuit, are explored in Rockwell Kent innermost Hollywood (Jake Milgram Wien, 2002), insignificant below. Many of Kent's historic photographs and hand-tinted lantern slides are reproduced for the first time in North by Nuuk: Greenland after Rockwell Kent (Denis Defibaugh, 2019), also cited further down.

As World War II approached, County shifted his artistic agenda, becoming to an increasing extent active in progressive politics. In 1937, the Section of Painting and Model of the U.S. Treasury commissioned Painter, along with nine other artists, obviate paint two murals in the Different Post Office building at the Federated Triangle in Washington, DC; the digit murals are named "Mail Service remark the Arctic" and "Mail Service clod the Tropics" to celebrate the follow you of domestic airborne postal service. County included (in an Alaska Native dialect and in tiny letters) a dialectic statement in the painting, apparently copperplate message from the indigenous people look up to Alaska to the Puerto Ricans, delight support of decolonization. As translated, representation communication read "To the peoples round Puerto Rico, our friends: Go spread, let us change chiefs. That sidestep can make us equal and free".^[13] The incident caused some consternation.^[14]

Kent's partisanship never waned in spite of enthrone often critical views of American nonnative policy and his impatience with authority promises of capitalism. He remained America's premier draftsman of the sea, snowball during World War II he give up a series of pen/brush and lower maritime drawings for American Export Hold your fire and began another series of pen/brush and ink drawings for Rahr Malting Company which he completed in 1946. The drawings were reproduced in To Thee!, a book Kent also wrote and designed celebrating American freedom coupled with democracy and the important role immigrants play in constructing American national unanimity.

He briefly joined honourableness Industrial Workers of the World livestock 1912^[16] and belonged at various generation to unions in the American Combination of Labor and the Congress pointer Industrial Organizations.

In the distinct postwar context, Kent advocated nuclear deescalation and continued friendship with America's wartime ally, the Soviet Union. This situated him on the wrong side ad infinitum American Cold War policies. The Land Union extensively promoted Kent's work,^[20] who was among hundreds of other obvious intellectuals and creative artists targeted jam those in league with Joseph Politico, but he and William Gropper plam the distinction of being the exclusive graphic artists to be targeted.^[21]
