Distant Shores: The Odyssey of Rockwell Kent
"A fine addition to the growing critical literature on the art and life of Rockwell Kent, the American artists and illustrator who gave us some of the 20th century's most enduring images of the seas, lands, and people of the far North. . . . Distant Shores brings before the public some of the treasure trove of paintings unseen outside Russia for more than 40 tears. . . . West provides basic early biographical context and a clear, concise outline of Kent's artistic influences and training. . . . [This] is an essential volume in the burgeoning literature on one of the most important chroniclers of the circumpolar North. [It is] a solid contribution to the scant number of critical works providing insightful examination of the meanings and significance of Arctic paintings, drawings, and prints."--Arctic
