Donald Shaw MacLaughlin, Canadian, American, 1876 to 1938, watercolor painting on paper depicting a cityscape with a church. Unsigned. Circa: 1900 to 1910. Donald MacLaughlin is an American and Canadian artist, known for Landscape and figure genre painting, graphics. Earning much respect in the early 20th century in America for his sketching abilities, Donald Shaw MacLaughlan was a Canadian, who was born and raised on a farm on Prince Edward Island. In 1890, he moved to Boston with his family. However, many of the works that gained him recognition were created when he lived and worked first in France and later in Italy. MacLaughlan first studied art in Boston under J. W. O. Hamilton. By 1898, however, he had settled in Paris to complete his education at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Within a very short period of time MacLaughlan had established his reputation for etching. One of a kind artwork.

PROVENANCE: A Private Charleston SC Estate. Donald Shaw MacLaughlan was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada on November 9, 1876. His family moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1890 where he began to experiment with different art media; watercolor, oil painting and finally, etching – with a few attempts at lithography. He spent much of his early years at the Boston Public Library studying the work of printmakers, from Durer and Rembrandt to the 18th century English, French and Italian masters. Like many American artists of the time MacLaughlan traveled to Europe to study in Paris, enrolling in the Ecole des Beaux Arts and studied further with Jean Leon Gerome and Jean Paul Laurens. In 1899 he began producing etchings, which became his major interest until his death in 1938. He became acquainted with James NcNeill Whistler and other artists who created etchings and spent time studying the etchings of Rembrandt van Rijn and other old masters in the collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale. Both Rembrandt and Whistler would have major influences on his art. In 1907 MacLaughlan was selected by the Parisian dealer Alvin-Beaumont to pull impressions from several of Rembrandt’s etching plates, 84 of which Alvin-Beaumont had purchased the previous year. MacLaughlan was a member of the circle of modernist American artists in Paris, and was on the advisory board of the Secessionist group organized by Eduard Steichen (1879-1973) on February 25, 1908, the New Society of American Artists in Paris. A day later Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), who had seen impressions MacLaughlan pulled from the Rembrandt plates, opened an exhibition in his 291 Gallery in New York City that included works by MacLaughlan. That year MacLaughlan married Alieen Tillman, a native of Nashville, Tenn. Although his main base was in Europe, MacLaughlan visited the U.S. periodically, worked from studios in New York City in 1911 and 1917, contributed to print exhibitions in this country and was a member of the American Society of Etchers.San Francisco’s Panama-Pacific International Exposition showed seven of his prints and awarded him a gold medal. MacLaughlan also won medals in expositions in Buffalo, Leipzig and Rome. He was represented by the Albert Roullier Art Galleries in Chicago, which mounted several exhibitions of his work. London’s Fine Art Society organized an exhibition of some two hundred of his works in 1926. In 1935 he was elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design, New York City, and was elected a full member in 1938, the year he died.
