EspañolGLASGOW SCHOOL
The 'Glasgow School' was a circle of influential modern artists and designers who began to coalesce in Glasgow, Scotland in the 1870s, and flourished from the 1890s to sometime around 1910. Glasgow experienced an economic boom at the end of the 19th century, resulting in a burst of distinctive contributions to the Art Nouveau movement, particularly in the fields of architecture, interior design, and painting.
Among the most prominent definers of the Glasgow School loose collective were "'The Four'": acclaimed architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the painter and glass artist Margaret MacDonald (Mackintosh's wife), MacDonald's sister Frances, and Herbert MacNair. Cumulatively, The Four defined the Glasgow Style (a syncretistic blend of Celtic and Japanese art), 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.
The 'Glasgow Girls' were a group of female designers and artists including Frances MacDonald, sister of Margaret MacDonald and sister-in-law to Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Through the 1880s and 1890s—around the same time that the Spook School was gaining prominence—a collective who came to be known as the 'Glasgow Boys' were interpreting and expanding the of Impressionist and Post-impressionist painting. Their subject matter featured rural, prosaic scenes from in and around Glasgow. Their colorful depictions attempted to capture the many facets of the character of Scotland.
Among the painters associated with the group were Joseph Crawhall, Sir James Guthrie, George Henry, E. A. Hornel, and E. A. Walton.
