The End 1927

"The End" is a 1927 wood engraving by American artist Rockwell Kent. Depicting a lone figure in a small boat amidst a stormy sea, the artwork is a powerful and evocative representation of isolation and vulnerability. Kent’s masterful use of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, immersing the viewer in the scene's dramatic tension. The stark contrast between light and dark further enhances the dramatic effect, symbolizing the struggle against overwhelming forces.
