We are grateful to Scott R. Ferris and Richard V. West for preparing the following essay:
The paintings Rockwell Kent created while in Ireland can be categorized in two groups: one, the detailed landscape and human infused compositions such as Annie Mc Ginley (private collection) and Dan Ward’s Stack (The State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia); and two, the stark, modeled landscapes that focus more on abstract form–such as in the work of Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe–that are more a human reflection on the essence of the world around us. Craigbeefin represents the latter.
Kent possessed the ability to render parallel universes: creating compositions that were representative–the realism that he claimed to adhere to–and the modernistic–expressing the intuitive versus what he physically viewed. This painting, like some of its predecessors, was a key to unlocking the doorway to his apex as a painter, as seen in his Greenland landscapes of the 1930s.
A label on the verso identifies the ship, the SS Montnairn (Canadian Pacific Steamship Line), as the carrier of this painting from Ireland to Canada in September of 1926.
This painting will be included in the Annotated Checklist of Paintings by Rockwell Kent currently being prepared by Scott R. Ferris and Richard V. West.
