Degravitation 1937

"Degravitation" (1937) by Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) is a dramatic black and white lithograph depicting a scene of chaos and disorientation. The figures, rendered with strong lines and shading, appear to be falling or floating in a gravity-defying space, suggesting a sense of loss of control and societal breakdown. The artist's signature style, characterized by his bold lines and stark contrasts, contributes to the powerful and unsettling atmosphere of the artwork. This print reflects Kent's interest in social commentary and his use of visual metaphors to explore complex themes of humanity and the human condition.
