VTG Vernon Kilns MOBY DICK Rockwell Kent BROWN TRIM California 12 3/8" PLATE Clean; no chips, cracks or stains; looks great! Rockwell Kent enjoyed a reputation as a decidedly modernist artist, known for both his stark landscapes and seascapes extolling the majestic Maine coast, and for his strong black and white illustrative prints. The stark linearity of Kent’s ink drawings and wood block prints were especially suited to book illustration. In 1926, he was commissioned to provide the illustrations for a special edition of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The illustrations conveyed the deep psychological drama of Melville’s narrative in Kent’s inimitable stark style. When the edition was published in 1930, the book sold out almost immediately, and gave the novel its first well-deserved critical and popular acclaim since its original publication in 1851. (INV #21)
