Kenneth Rowntree was born in Scarborough in 1915 and died in 1997. He studied at Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford and Slade School of Fine Art Drawing.
Rowntree was a painter in oil and watercolour of landscape, street scenes, and figure subjects. He had considerable influence as a teacher, first at the Royal College of Art and then, from 1959 until 1980, as Professor of Fine Art at the University of Durham. As a watercolourist he was of the same school of English Romantic painters as his friends Bawden, Nash, Piper and Rothenstein – all represented in the Frederick Gibberd Collection.
