John Macdonald Aiken

After serving a six-year apprenticeship as a draughtsman with the lithographer Robert Gibb RSA (1845–1932), he studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, at the Royal College of Art in London under Gerald Moira (1867–1959) and in Florence.

Although his earlier work showed the great influence of Moira's decorative technique he gradually developed his own distinctive style.

He exhibited regularly: RA (925 works), RSA (127), RI (8), RE (19), RSW (2), GI (49), and AAS (1898–1959).

His work is represented in Aberdeen, Dundee, and Perth Art Galleries as well as in Leith Hall (National Trust for Scotland).1 1.
