Today, I invite you to have a look at only one painting of the remarkable painter, illustrator, writer, and rather interesting individual Rockwell Kent (1882 – 1971). The painting is called “Snowy Fields (Winter in the Berkshires)”, and was painted in 1909.

“I don’t want petty self-expression”, Kent wrote, “I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity.”
Can you see “the Symbolist spirit evoking the mysteries and cosmic wonders of the natural world” in this painting?
Joy!

Indeed! One can practically hear the happy squeal of the child and the playful barking of the dogs. 🙂

Yes, I thought so, too. Lots to discover even though the composition seems so simple and straight-forward.
