Economic expansion in late 19th century Scotland brought forth a flourishing art community in Glasgow, the nation’s largest city. The Glasgow Style, a distinctive style of decorative design by Glasgow artists & designers from c.1890 to 1920, was Great Britain’s contribution to Art Nouveau and Scotland’s significant contribution to the Arts and Crafts movement. Prominent among the influential Glasgow Style artists were the renowned architect, designer, and painter Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald.
