Augustus Kenderdine

1870 - 1947
 

Born in England in 1870, Kenderdine studied art in Manchester, Blackpool, and Paris in late 1880's and early '90s . He came to Canada in 1908, homesteading and ranching near Lashburn (west of the Battlefords). After 1921 he was involved with establishing art programs at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, among them the summer art school at Emma Lake. Kenderdine seldom painted in watercolour, although he did several landscape studies in charcoal and wash, reminiscent of Gainsborough. A romantic tendency in Kenderdine's nature led him to paint Arcadian woodland scenes. Kenderdine lacked the documentary strain present in many prairie landscape painters, but his feeling for the breadth and sweep of the landscape affected later artists like Dorothy Knowles.
