Imens i livet hos Rockwell Kent
Hele livet1918–1919
Alaska: Wintering on Fox Island with His Son
In late summer 1918 he set off with his nine-year-old son Rockwell for Fox Island in Alaska, where he created a series of paintings and prints devoted to that land.
1920
First Book: "Wilderness"
Kent's first book was published — an illustrated journal of his Alaskan winter, compiled from his letters home. The New Statesman called it the most remarkable book to come out of America since Leaves of Grass.
1920
The Alaska Works at Knoedler's
On his return from Alaska in March 1919, patrons led by George Palmer Putnam founded the corporation Rockwell Kent, Inc. to support the artist; the completed Alaska paintings and the Impressions studies were shown in 1920 at the Knoedler Gallery in New York.
