Max Weber
Portrait of Abraham Walkowitz, 1907
Max Weber (April 18, 1881 – October 4, 1961) was a Jewish-American painter and one of the first American Cubist painters who, in later life, turned to more figurative Jewish themes in his art. He is best known today for Chinese Restaurant (1919), in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, "the finest canvas of his Cubist phase," in the words of art historian Avis Berman.

Rockwell Kent was an American artist, illustrator, and author who was active in the early 20th century. He was born in 1882 in Tarrytown, New York, and studied art at the New York School of Art and the National Academy of Design. Kent's work ranged from traditional landscape paintings and etchings to more modernist styles, and he was known for his bold, expressive brushwork and his use of bright, vibrant colors.
In addition to his work as a painter, Kent was also a prolific illustrator and designer, and he created book covers, posters, and other commercial graphics. He was particularly well-known for his illustrations of classic literature, and he created illustrations for editions of works by authors such as Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, and Mark Twain. Kent was also an author and wrote several books about art, travel, and his own experiences.
Throughout his career, Kent traveled extensively and spent time in many different countries, including Greenland, Alaska, and Ireland. His travels often inspired his art, and he produced a number of paintings and prints that depicted the landscapes and people of these regions. Kent died in 1971 in Plattsburgh, New York.
