Kenneth Rowntree Monochrome watercolour over pencil & crayon 26.0 x 44.0cm / 101/4 x 171/4in Rowntree's paintings of Oxford barges were shown at the Ashmolean Museum in May 1956. The pictures were commissioned in 1956 by J.M Richards of the Architectural Review, to accompany an article written by Diana Rowntree. Alan Powers has written, ".... (his) affection for innocent decoration played an active role in Rowntree's work when he painted the Oxford College Barges, originally converted from London Livery Company Thames barges into slightly baroque viewing stations for college 'bumps', but by this time rapidly decaying. The paintings were used to illustrate an article by Diana in the Architectural Review in July 1956, arguing for a more sensitive approach to the planning of boathouse buildings along the Isis, and shown at the Ashmolean Museum, helping to stir an effort to save the barges…"

    § Kenneth Rowntree, ARWS (British, 1915-1997) Mlle Manicette Canière signed 'Kenneth Rowntree' (lower left) oil on canvas h:54 w:46 cm Other Notes: 'Mlle Manicette Canière' dates from the earlier years of Rowntree's career, characterised as it is by flat plains, a formalised composition, and bold application of paint. This lack of overt detail and paring down of forms was perhaps influenced by his Quaker roots. Throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s, Rowntree infused his work with French influences, having made trips to Gisors in Normandy in 1936, 1938 and 1939. In his earlier triptych, 'Homage to French Culture in the Nineteenth Century' (1938), Rowntree created a colourful tribute to French painting, literature and music on a monumental scale. According to John Milner, this work 'catalogues Rowntree's every French enthusiasm', and is a 'magnificent testament to Rowntree's erudition and delight in French culture'.(John Milner, 'Kenneth Rowntree', Lund Humphries, Aldershot, 2002). 'Mlle Manicette Canière' is not included in a comprehensive catalogue of Rowntree's works compiled by the artist's wife, Diana Buckley, and their son (Tate archives, TGA 200315).
