Textile design is a creative field that fulfills a variety of purposes in our lives such as our clothing, carpets, drapes, towels, and historically wall coverings. The creations of patterned textiles are not only important for their use, but also for the role they play in the fashion industry. Textile designers have the ability to inspire collections, trends, and styles. The textile industry, while being a creative art form, is a very business savvy industry. Textile designers marry a creative vision of what a finished textile will look like with a deep understanding of the technical aspects of production and the properties of fibre, yarn, and dyes.

They received their training at the Glasgow School of Art and became known for their contribution to "the Glasgow Style," Scotland's answer to Continental Art nouveau and Symbolism. Although they inherited their visual vocabulary from the male-dominated language of the fin-de-siècle. they produced representations of women that differed from those made by their male colleagues. I suggest that these representations were informed by the female exper,i*nce and that they must be understood as such if we, as historians, are to discuss their art.

Living in Glasgow at the turn of the century, they concentrated their work on interior design. However, artistic collaboration has been neglected by traditional art history, with its concentration on individual creativity. For the couple in question, this has meant that the work they created together has been mainly attributed to Mackintosh, thereby relegating Mac­ donald to the role of spouse and assistant, rather than co-creator. The present disser­ tation presents a different picture of the couple's collaboration, challenging and revi­ sing our cultural perceptions about the creative abilities of the respective sexes. A selection of interiors created by the Mackintoshes is studied in order to shed light on their collaborative efforts. The analyses embark from the perspectives of «masculine» and «feminine» in order to show how the Mackintoshes created artistic wholeness in their interiors, while at the same time opening up the spaces for a mixture of actors, i.e.

  • Tracing the Founding Members' of Glasgow Society of Lady
    The ladies would seem to have turned their attention: tracing the founding members’ of Glasgow Society of Lady Artists In this book you hold, ‘Raoul Reynolds: a Retrospective’, our primary character’s timeline notes that his mother Henriette Aliès-Reynolds leaves her native city Marseille in 1880, to set up home in Glasgow, enrolling at Glasgow School of Art two years later. The art school, which had been founded in 1845 as the Glasgow Government School of Design, changing its name in 1853 to Glasgow School of Art, had been established with the purpose of teaching designers to contribute to the new buildings and manufacturing industries of the city. What kind of an environment would Raoul’s mother have found herself in? In 1880s’ the day classes were for mainly middle class students, the majority female, whilst the evening classes were populated by male students who worked in industry by day. The art school had amongst its courses, one for design in shipbuilding, which introduced her, through mutual friends, to her husband-to-be, Joshua Reynolds. At the time period that Henriette was at the art school, the premises, since 1869 had been ‘The Corporation Buildings’, on Sauchiehall Street, later better known as McLellan Buildings, where the studios were in first & second floors and attic, located at the eastern end of the building. It is noted by a later researcher, George Rawson[1] that the studios were ‘badly ventilated gas-lit rooms, with south facing windows’. It is not until 1896 that design and work begins on the art school as masterwork by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a then junior draughtsman for Glasgow firm Honeyman and Keppie.

  • How Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Changed Glasgow School of Art María Teresa González Mínguez IES Manuel E
    Dark/Masculine—Light/Feminine: How Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald Changed Glasgow School of Art María Teresa González Mínguez IES Manuel E. Patarroyo Abstract Glasgow was by tradition a classical city like its rival Edinburgh. In Glasgow Classicism remained in Italianate buildings with monumental Greek, Egyptian and abstract forms. In the 1880s and the 1890s, when Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Glasgow 1868- London 1928) was beginning his career, Glasgow architecture became more diverse, combining a generalized Scottishness with freedom and variety. With a design philosophy solidly rooted in Scottish tradition, the sophisticated Mackintosh disregarded the architecture of Greece and Rome, in his opinion unsuitable for Scotland. The aim of this paper is to show how by using a fruitful male/female polarity the Mackintoshes managed to combine husbandly elements of architecture and wifely interior designs in order to produce a domestically comfortable microworld which, after years of oblivion, has become the perfect tourist package for Glasgow. Art Nouveau is a period of Art History between 1890 and 1914, clearly influenced by William Morris’s Arts and Crafts Movement, which renovated architecture and decorative arts. Art Nouveau is bidimensional and juxtaposes powerful rectangular structures with long and delicate curved lines used as decorative elements. Wood, iron and stone become as malleable as plastic. This new style was born in connection to the scientific advances which began with the industrial revolution and the bourgeois desire of modernization. Its name comes from a furniture shop opened in Paris in 1890 and from there it spread to the rest of Europe and America under different names: Art Nouveau in Britain and the United States, Jugendstil in Germany, Secession in Proceedings 31 st AEDEAN Conference .
