Note: Donald Bain was born in Kilmacolm, Inverclyde, in 1904, the son of a textile designer. Later, the family moved to England to live and Bain eventually began studying art under William York MacGregor (1855 – 1923), one of the Glasgow Boys. It was MacGregor who introduced Bain to the work of the Scottish Colourists and Bain was to become particularly associated with J.D. Fergusson (1874 – 1961), becoming involved with the New Scottish Group from its inception in 1942. He worked in France after the Second World War, but settled in Glasgow in 1948. His work remained largely unknown until a major touring exhibition in 1972-73.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
