MacColl is better known as art critic, writer and founding member of the National Art Collections Fund, than as a painter. He was also Keeper of the Tate Gallery (1906–1911) and of the Wallace Collection (1911–1924). Despite his other commitments, he exhibited with the English Art Club and continued painting throughout his life. He was one of the most important advocates of Impressionist painting in Britain. His own self portrait illustrates his view that technique and painting method are more important that representational content.
