Donald McIntyre Figurative 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.

Provenance: from the artists estate, France
Maria Tort Xirau ( Figueres , 26 May 1924 – 6 June 2018) was a painter and photographic and cinematographic editor from Emporda. She developed a long professional career in leading photographic studios, in films for The Walt Disney Company and also in advertising claims for companies such as Educa Borràs . The second half of her life was dedicated to painting, exercising a luminous, varied and nostalgic chromatic style in the techniques of oil and watercolor and with exhibitions of her work in Barcelona and Figueres. The Biographical Dictionary of Art Empordà defined Tort Xirau's work as "a painting that is characterized by the strength of the strokes, the vividness and brightness of the chromatic range and exudes mastery of the photographic technique. A mixture of nostalgia and tenderness is evident.".
Tort Xirau's paintings were exhibited in the two towns where she spent her life: in 1992 she exhibited his work at the Caixa de Figueres Exhibition Hall. Two years later, she did it at Sala Conex in Barcelona and in 2007 and 2013 the Consortium of Sant Ferran Castle and the Figueres Town Council organized tribute exhibitions. In 2013, she ceded to the council of the city of Figueres her work Mercat de la plaça de l'Ajuntament , watercolored on paper around 1991, which is exhibited in the rest room of the building.
On June 6, 2018, she died in Figueres at the age of 94, receiving the apostolic blessing . Two years after her death, part of her paintings were included in the exhibition Paint, create, live. Women artists in the Alt...
