Art Work
Rowe had a vigorous realist style, but was always experimenting with new techniques and themes. In addition to his large murals, Rowe was particularly well known for landscapes. He won several painting and sculpture awards in the 1930s, and his works were exhibited in the 1939 New York World’s Fair and San Francisco’s Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939-1940.
Rowe’s art work is on public display and in private collections across the country. His works have been exhibited at major museums including the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C., the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Burchfield-Penny Art Center in Buffalo. The Smithsonian Institution, the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, the Albright Knox Gallery, the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art, and the Burchfield-Penny Art Center are among the museums that include Rowe’s works in their permanent collections. Today, William Rowe’s works are sold in commercial art galleries primarily in New York (Mexican Market) and the American southwest (Mexican Fiesta), and in national auctions as they become available.

“She remembered home as a place where there were always too many children, a cross man and work piling up around a sick woman.”
