When the Sun Shines

“When the Sun Shines”. Rockwell Kent. 1926.

Rockwell Kent, born in New York State 1882, was a multi-talented adventurer. He travelled widely and worked across numerous disciplines including painting, illustration, printing and writing. His personal philosophy lead him to places with spiritual and mystical significance. “I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity”, he is quoted as saying in 1919. When the Sun Shines is one of around 36 paintings made whilst Kent stayed in Donegal during the summer of 1926. This is a museum-quality archival print made using materials which will last for many years.

About the work
When the Sun Shines is a view of farmland and seascape at Glencolmcille next to the coast of Donegal. A remote, somewhat inaccessible place fully exposed to the wild natural beauty beloved of the artist, Kent lived and worked in a converted cowshed. He made numerous paintings of the coastal views and also of farm work in the surrounding land. When the Sun Shines is a beautifully idyllic work full of golden light and glowing colour. Here Rockwell Kent depicts a magnificent moment of natural beauty. ‘The infinite thing’ captures us to be moved. A work you can enjoy always.
