Paintings by Rockwell Kent

From Wikipedia  (edited
"Rockwell Kent (June 21, 1882 – March 13, 1971) was an American painter, printmaker, illustrator, and writer.
He studied with several influential painters and theorists of his day.
A transcendentalist and mystic in the tradition of Thoreau and Emerson, whose works he read, Kent found inspiration in the austerity and stark beauty of wilderness.
When Kent died of a heart attack in 1971 The New York Times described him as "... a thoughtful, troublesome, profoundly independent, odd and kind man who made an imperishable contribution to the art of bookmaking in the United States.""
Kent's  paintings remind me very much of N. Roerichs work which an earlier post dealt with.
