The Glasgow 4

The Glasgow 4

The group of artists that came to be known as The Glasgow Four comprised the painter and glass artist Margaret MacDonald, acclaimed architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (MacDonald's husband), MacDonald's sister Frances, and Herbert McNair. Together, the Four defined the Glasgow Style, merging and blending influences including the Celtic Revival, the Arts and Crafts Movement and also Japonisme, which found favour throughout the modern art world of continental Europe. The Four, otherwise known as the Spook School, ultimately made a great impact on the definition of Art Nouveau.
