Biography
Talbert McLean (b. Dundee, Scotland, UK 1906 - d. Dundee 1992) studied at Dundee School of Art and also taught there for a while before moving to London and working as a cartoonist. War service took McLean to North Wales - where he became friends with the artist William Scott (1913-1989) - and to North Africa where he was engaged in map-making. After the war he rejoined his family at Kirriemuir, before moving to Arbroath when McLean secured a job teaching at the High School. McLean is known for his abstract works in acrylic; earlier in his career he also painted in watercolour.
