Anon. sale, Sotheby's, Gleneagles, 1 September 1992, lot 1049.
John Maclauchlan Milne moved from Dundee to the Isle of Arran in 1940. He had favourite views that he painted several times, most of these near his home at High Corrie. As Maurice Millar stated 'he does not seem to have ventured far in looking for landscapes of Arran to paint.' (M.N. Millar, The Missing Colourist: the search for John Maclauchlan Milne, RSA, 2022, p. 103).
He applied his skills that were honed during his time in France and mastered his use of light. The paintings nearly always show bright days and beautiful blue water. His work from this period is free and often experimental in structure, with definite hints of Van Gogh in his brushwork and compositions, who was an artist he greatly admired.
