Add to SetSummary
Artist and illustrator Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) began taking classes at William Merritt Chase's art school in the early 1900s. He took up wood engraving around 1920 and developed a modern graphic style that was instantly recognizable and widely emulated. In the mid-1930s, Kent was a member of the American Artist Group and, with others, encouraged the organization to introduce artist-designed Christmas cards.
