His striking illustrations for two editions of Herman Melvilles Moby Dick simultaneously precise and abstract images that drew on his architect’s eye for spatial relations and his years of maritime adventures proved extremely popular and remain some of his best known works. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Kent produced a range of print media, including advertisements, bookplates, and Christmas cards. Kents satirical drawings, created under the pseudonym Hogarth Jr., were published in popular periodicals including Vanity Fair, Harpers Weekly, and Life.
