Lot Essay

McClure comments on his colleague's work 'What I admire particularly in his work is the full and rich flavour he conveys of his enjoyment of people. Often these are children (members of his family) or characters glimpsed in the street ...' (Exhibition catalogue, Four Scottish Artists: Blyth, Donaldson, Henderson, Morrocco, Edinburgh, The Arts Council Gallery, 1964, unpaginated).
