Kenneth Rowntree

Kenneth Rowntree (14 March 1915 – 21 February 1997) was a British artist. He was educated at Bootham School, York.

A Quaker and son of Howard Doncaster Rowntree (1879-1974), a First World War conscientious objector, he was also a conscientious objector in the Second World War. He worked for the War Artists' Advisory Committee.

He was one of the Great Bardfield Artists[1] and taught at the Royal College of Art.[2]

In 1939 Rowntree married architect Diana Rowntree née Buckley.

In 2009 his studio was sold at auction in Newcastle-on-Tyne. The catalogue, written and researched by Steven Moore, included an introduction by Rowntree's friend and colleague John Milner.[3]

Rowntree died on 21 February 1997.[4]
