Wood-engraver and painter
Iain Macnab of Barachastlain (21 October 1890 – 24 December 1967) was a Scottish wood-engraver and painter.
As a prominent teacher he was influential in the development of the British school of wood-engraving.[1] His pictures are noted for clarity of form and composition.[2]
His concepts of the sense of motion which could be created by the shape of repetitive parallel lines were of profound influence, in particular in relation to the art of linocut – an art form which both he and Claude Flight pioneered at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art where with the teachers included Cyril Power and Sybil Andrews.[3]
His work was shown in the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale of 1930.[4]
