Kenneth Steel (RBA, SGA, 9 July 1906–1970) was a British artist creating works of art primarily in watercolor.[1] He was noted for landscapes, street scenes and as a poster designer.[2]
Steel was born in Sheffield, England to G.T.Steel, an artist and silver engraver. He studied at Sheffield College of Art under Anthony Betts. During World War II, both his mother and wife died as victims of German bombing raids on Sheffield.
Most of Steel's work was produced as commercial pieces for the railways but he was also represented in a number of public collections. In recent years, several of his works have been sold at auction by Christie's as interest has risen in the art of the early twentieth century.[3]
