Kent, Rockwell.. It's Me O Lord. The Autobiography of Rockwell Kent.. Dodd Mead, 1955.
Price: US$300.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light edge wear to the extremities. Rockwell Kent easily lived up to his favorite phrase, "Let s get something done."In his younger days, he built with his own hands the houses he lived in. He married three wives and conducted a number of apparently troublesome love affairs. His travels carried him for long periods to Newfoundland and Alaska, Greenland and Terra del Fuego. He waged legal warfare against a shipping line and a railroad; crusaded for socialism, worked busily as a commercial artist; and always painted pictures. Mr. Kent, who proudly claimed to he a Communist of sorts, emerges from this autobiography as a naively opinionated, incorrigibly rambunctious, but courageous and essentially well-meaning man. He tells the story of his Bohemian career with an unfortunate lack of selectivity but with a great deal of spirit. Fully illustrated with 96 new drawings, 170 reproductions of his previous drawings, and 8 reproductions of his own paintings in color.
