The Glasgow Style is the name given to the work of a group of young designers & architects working in Glasgow from 1890-1914 At its centre were four young friends who had trained at Glasgow School of Art; two architects & two artists
- Charles Rennie Mackintosh Herbert Mac Nair Margaret Macdonald & Frances Macdonald
- who were simply known by their friends & contemporaries as The Four' Their work was a personal vision in the new international style of the 1890s Art Nouveau & is perhaps best known for Mackintosh's architecture & furniture But at the root of this new style was a graphic language which all four shared Charles Rennie Mackintosh & the Art of The Four presents the most coherent story to date of this important group concentrating on the entirety of their artistic imagery & output far beyond the best known work of the 1890s & charting the constantly changing relationships between the artists & their work
