In Starry Night (1933), American artist, writer, and philosopher Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) introduces the central question: what is night to a human being? A sole figure stands on the front step of a house with one hand holding onto the door frame, positioned between the vast outside world covered by a starlit sky and the inside of an abrasively and artificially lit home. Her posture suggests that she is not comfortable outside, yet she also physically recoils from the brightness indoors. Kent's nocturne invites the viewer to consider the same dilemma that its subject faces: trying to decide where one really belongs, and why.+++ Art form: Print / Bookplate+++ Style of art: Realism, Symbolism +++ Technique: Woodcut +++ Materials: Paper +++ Date of original creation: 1933Background Information:Adaline Hand Serre was born in 1885.
