Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (5 November 1864 – 7 January 1933) was a Scottish artist whose design work became one of the defining features of the "Glasgow Style" during the 1890s. ==Biography== Born Margaret Macdonald, at Tipton, near Wolverhampton, her father was a colliery manager and engineer. Margaret and her younger sister Frances both attended the Orme Girls' School, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. Their names occur in the school register.〔Orme Girls' School, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Registers〕 In the 1881 census Margaret, aged 16, was said to be a scholar. She was a visitor at someone else's house on census night.〔1881 Census〕 By 1890 the family had settled in Glasgow and Margaret and her sister, Frances Macdonald, enrolled as students at the Glasgow School of Art.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/artists-a-z/m/artist/margaret-macdonald-mackintosh/object/the-mysterious-garden-gma-5156 )〕 There she worked in a variety of media, including metalwork, embroidery, and textiles. She was first a collaborator with her sister, Frances, and in the 1890s the pair opened the MacDonald Sisters Studio at 128 Hope Street, Glasgow. Their innovative work was inspired by Celtic imagery, literature, symbolism, and folklore. She later collaborated with her husband, the architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. They married on 22 August 1900. Her most dynamic works are large gesso panels made for the interiors that she designed with Mackintosh, such as tearooms and private residences. Charles Rennie Mackintosh is commonly recognized as Scotland's most famous architect, while Margaret is traditionally depicted as his supportive spouse.〔 Yet Mackintosh has admitted that much of his success and creativity is in fact to be attributed to the influence of his wife, who he referred to as a "genius." Together with her husband, her sister, and Herbert MacNair, she was one of the most influential members of the loose collective of the Glasgow School known as "The Four". She exhibited with Mackintosh at the 1900 Vienna Secession, where she was arguably an influence on the Secessionists Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
