Ōtepoti Dunedin artist Alexander McLintock attended the Dunedin School of Art during the mid-1920s where he was taught etching by William Allen. Fellow printmaker Stewart Maclennan, who also features in Ink on Paper, was a student there at the same time. Etching was a medium that Alexander loved, and he excelled at detailed line work – as seen in A Windy Day. He was a prolific printmaker and went on to produce more than ninety prints. Trees were a favoured subject.
