Donald McIntyre Abstract Paintings

British, 1923-2009

British artist Donald McIntyre’s seascape paintings capture the essence of coastal shorelines through vivid compositions imbued with a calm simplicity. McIntyre's work embodies the Scottish Colourist tradition of landscape art. He places the viewer at the boundary of civilization and nature, with a strong focus on the natural scenery, as the images of manmade structures seem to fade into the background.

McIntyre was born in Leeds, Yorkshire. He studied dentistry at the Glasgow Dental Hospital and also attended night classes at the Glasgow School of Art. While working as a dentist, he served in the British Army, taught art classes and painted in his spare time. 

In the late 1950s, McIntyre left dentistry to take up painting full time. He traveled throughout the British Isles, painting scenes of shorelines and countrysides, as well as occasional interior settings and portraits. The seascapes McIntyre created are a favorite among Scottish art collectors.

McIntyre exhibited at many galleries throughout the United Kingdom before his death in 2009. Many public and private collections contain his works, including the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth — as well as galleries in Birkenhead, England and Newport, Wales.

Born in Lloilo in 1921, he studied architecture at the Mapua Institute of Technology and a fine arts course, majoring in painting, at the University of the Philippines. He also studied at the Art Students League in New York and at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris. Tabuena decided to settle in Mexico and to make it the base of his painting career. But he has maintained links with his native country through participation in its major art projects, and despite his long residence in Mexico, he has retained his Philippine citizenship. One of his major works since 1957 is a government-commissioned mural, Filipiniana, at the Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. His other exhibits include a ten-year retrospective show in 1959 at the Philippine Art Gallery in Manila.
