Publisher's Note Notable American artist Rockwell Kent virtually disappeared from museum and gallery circuits in the late 1940s because of his political views. But his popularity is now rebounding, and this study of Kent's missing "great collection" is a welcome addition to the literature about a great American artist. At the height of the Cold War, feeling that his work was not appreciated at home, Kent gave a remarkable gift of his work to the people of the Soviet Union as a gesture of friendship. Unfortunately, any friendship was a long time in coming, and the more that 700 paintings, drawings, prints, and manuscripts in his gift were, for practical purposes, lost to an American audience. Only those willing to travel to the Hermitage Museum, Kiev Museum, Gorki Museum, and collections in Ukraine and Armenia saw these works.
