WARREN COUNTY HAPPENINGS

Through July 22: Rockwell Kent exhibitions

Rockwell Kent (American, 1882-1971), Flame, 1928, wood engraving, 8 x 5 ½ in., Collection of Ralf C. Nemec.

Rockwell Kent was a polarizing figure: An acclaimed artist and printmaker, a household name as traveler and author, his private mores scandalized family and friends, his social activism his political adversaries. His politics garnered him a certain degree of notoriety, while his art earned him critical acclaim.

The Hyde Collection has two exhibitions of the artist's works in three mediums.
