Derweil im Leben von Rockwell Kent
Das ganze Leben1926–1930
Illustrations for "Moby-Dick"
The publisher R. R. Donnelley offered Kent Dana's Two Years Before the Mast to illustrate, but the artist chose Melville's Moby-Dick instead. The three-volume limited edition of 1930 with his pen drawings (1,000 copies) sold out instantly; Random House issued a trade edition.
1927
Asgaard Farm in the Adirondacks
He moved to upstate New York, buying a farm in the Adirondack Mountains that he named Asgaard; it remained his home and studio for the rest of his life.
summer 1929
First Voyage to Greenland
In the summer of 1929 he set out on a painting expedition to Greenland (including a shipwreck off its coast), recounted in the bestseller N by E (1930). After meeting the Danish polar explorers Peter Freuchen and Knud Rasmussen, he resolved to return to Greenland to paint and draw.
1931–1932
Wintering at Igdlorssuit
He lived above the Arctic Circle in the tiny fishing settlement of Igdlorssuit (Illorsuit), where he conceived some of the largest and most celebrated paintings of his career; his book Salamina (1935) is devoted to this first Arctic winter.
