12:58 Rockwell Kent was a writer, illustrator, printmaker, painter, ceramicist, adventurer, and more who traveled to remote destinations around the world. He settled down in the Adirondacks and was a controversial figure, accused of being a socialist during the McCarthy era, but managed a successful art career in metropolitan areas despite living in the North Country.
The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York currently has two Kent exhibitions on view: The Prints of Rockwell Kent: Selections from the Ralf C. Nemec Collection which features fifty-four images from the largest collection of Kent prints in the world. It also includes a selection of rare ceramics by Kent. The second exhibit is: A Life and Art of His Own: The Paintings of Rockwell Kent from North Country Collections, a collection of paintings organized by Adirondack Experience director emerita Caroline Welsh, drawn from the SUNY Plattsburgh Art Museum and private collections.
