The Glasgow style of decorative arts evolved in the 1890s at the
Glasgow School of Art, from influences begun by the Art Nouveau and
Arts and Crafts movments in Great Britain. It was characterized by
the juxtaposition of elongated verticals and sensuous bright,
light, feminine designs, such as the rose, butterfly, peacock,
singing birds, circles, crescents, and teardrop shapes. The text
explains the meanings of each motif. Biographies of 20 influential
artists in the Glasgow style include Charles Rennie Mackintosh,
Herbert McNair, Margaret Macdonald, and Frances Macdonald, Their
broad spectrum of designs, shown here in over 530 beautiful color
photographs, covered walls, furniture, metalwork, jewelry,
embroidery, textiles, dress, pottery, stained glass, and book
illustration. Their goal was to support themselves by creating
useful decorative arts that presented their new aesthetic. Today,
Glasgow style decorative arts are avidly collected and cherished
for their originality and handsome docor.
