About MeArticle printed in an unknown newspaper which discusses the donation of 204 etchings by James McBey to Aberdeen Art Gallery from Mr H.H. Kynett, a personal friend of the artist. A small section at the bottom of the article also talks about "The Kitchen Sink Mentality" and trying to keep a balance between buying good artwork for the gallery, while also saving enough money to keep the building in a good state of repair.

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this newspaper article.

There are no works to discover for this record.
