Kenneth Rowntree was born in Scarborough on March 14, 1915, and educated in York where his father managed the local department store. Young Kenneth’s work was displayed there and his first major commission arose from an advertisement at the store. After studying at the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford, he went on to study at the Slade School. At the Slade School, he met Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden and then moved to north Essex to work with them as members of the group of Great Bardfield Artists. Between 1940–43, he was one of the teams of over 60 artists engaged by the War Artists’ Advisory Committee for the Recording Britain project, to record the face of England and Wales before wartime action or before development changed it forever. Rowntree’s keen sense of design and fascination with the quirky and the vernacular made him an ideal candidate to interpret our built heritage’s more unusual aspects. In 1951, he painted murals in the Lion and Unicorn Pavilion for the Festival of Britain and he decorated the route of the Queen’s Coronation procession. During a teaching job at the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford he was driven, perhaps by his experiences recording Britain, to record the decorated barges that belonged to the Oxford Colleges. These wooden Victorian ceremonial barges had belonged to the London livery companies but were acquired in their later life by the Colleges to be used as changing rooms and clubhouses for the College boat clubs. Partway through painting one of them, Rowntree thought his drawing was incorrect until he realized that it was the boat that was moving. It was in fact sinking. In 1959, he was appointed Professor of Fine Art at Newcastle University, which as British art schools went was one of the most progressive. The Master of Painting was the abstract constructionist Victor Pasmore, and his assistant the father of British pop art, Richard Hamilton. Also Master of Sculpture was John Robert Murray McCheyne. In this environment Rowntree became receptive to assemblage and constructivism and other modernist idioms, incorporating them into his own work. Kenneth Rowntree worked with the architect Ernő Goldfinger to produce colored glass panels in Goldfinger’s Alexander Fleming House in the Elephant and Castle. He died in Hexham on February 21, 1997.

Ranchos Church Screen Print, American Modern, Circa 1940s, Signed
By Anna Barry
Located in Fairlawn, OH
Ranchos Church Screen print, Late 1940's Signed lower right (see photo) Titled lower left (see photo) Edition: Unknown This image depicts the famous church San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos. It was built between 1772 and 1816. It was importailized in American Art History by Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams. Condition: Excellent Image size: 5 x 7 inches Sheet size: 6 x 8 3/8 inches Anna Barry (1970-2001) “In 1944, after several prior trips to the area during which they had become friends with several of the Taos Founders, Ira and his wife, the artist Anna Barry moved to Taos, New Mexico. They would reside in the area on and off until 1955. Like many others, Moskowitz was entranced by New Mexico's light, landscapes, and cultures. By the time Ira arrived there, the region had already attracted Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Henri, and Leon Gaspard; the Southwest was starting to be recognized as an art center. Moskowitz and his wife became acquainted with Oscar Berninghaus, Andrew Dasburg, Ernest Blumenschein, and Mabel Dodge Lujan, among others. Ira wrote of that time that "Our house was always open and we had scarcely a single meal without visitors dropping in." "Anna Barry was an artist/printmaker. She married Ira Moskowitz (from a long line of Polish rabbinical leaders) in New York in 1938. They soon visited Taos and Santa Fe in New Mexico, returning there for extended periods until in 1944 they moved there permanently—staying until 1949 when they returned to New York. Her work in New Mexico depicts mostly the pueblos and their people, capturing ritual ceremonial dances in colorful serigraph prints and other artworks. She and Ira (also an artist) worked closely together during their New Mexico sojourns. The pueblos seemed their favored subjects there. She signed her New Mexico work as, "Anna Barry." Her prints are colorful and often detailed. The only ones I have seen (6 in all) were 5"x7" in size. Anna probably lived longest in New York, but perhaps was also in both Europe and Israel for extended periods. (See the AskART Ira Moskowitz biography.)" Courtesy of Fred McCraw Anna Barry (née Anna Barshefsky), painter, printmaker and teacher, was born to Russian émigrés Max and Ida Goldberg Barshefsky on 20 May 1909 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the 1930 U.S. Federal Census her family name is changed to Barish and they are listed as living in Bronx, New York. It is not yet known where she had formal art training but she was listed as a teacher on the 1940 U.S. Census. She married artist Ira Moskowitz on 13 November 1938 and they began frequenting New Mexico. They befriended such luminaries as Mabel Dodge Lujan, Georgia O’Keeffe, Oscar Berninghaus, and many others who had become attracted to the unique landscape. Barry and Moskowitz moved to Taos, New Mexico in 1944 and remained until 1949 when they returned to New York. One can’t help but wonder if Anna Barry studied with serigrapher/painter Louie Ewing...
