About the Item
This late work by Rockwell Kent exemplifies his mature approach to landscape as a space of contemplation rather than topographical description. Built on a calm horizontal structure, the composition presents a distant landform emerging through a restrained range of cool blue and grey tones. The reduced palette and softened contours create a sense of silence and inward focus characteristic of Kent’s philosophical landscapes of the 1960s.
Executed in pastel, the surface is matte and delicately layered, allowing subtle tonal transitions that enhance the atmospheric depth of the scene. Nature here is treated as a universal, timeless presence—an expression of balance, solitude, and moral clarity central to Kent’s late artistic vision.
The work is signed on verso. On the reverse, the artist inscribed “I Love Ukraine”, a rare personal dedication that gives the work exceptional historical and emotional significance.
Provenance
Gifted by the artist to the Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada; subsequently acquired from the ambassador’s widow.
Notes
During the 1960s, Rockwell Kent visited the Soviet Union, including Ukraine, within the framework of cultural exchanges. He expressed a particular affinity for Ukrainian landscapes, light, and cultural depth—an experience reflected in a number of his late landscape works.

Rockwell Kent
Rockwell Kent, (1882-1971) was born in Plattsburgh, New York). As a painterand printmaker his work was captured scenes of nature and adventure with a sense of drama that made him one of the most popular American artists of the first half of the 20th century. Kent studied architecture at Columbia University but turned to painting and was a pupil of William M. Chase, Robert Henri, and Abbott Thayer. Best known as an artist and illustrator he worked as an architectural draftsman, as a lobsterman and carpenter on the coast of Maine, and as a ship’s carpenter. He explored the waters about Tierra del Fuego in a small boat and lived in Newfoundland, Alaska, and Greenland, drawing heavily upon these experiences for his paintings and travel books. Kent’s human figures, which appear sparingly in his work, often signify mythic themes, such as heroism, loneliness, and individualism.
