-Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh was a Scottish artist known for her contributions to the Glasgow Style and the Art Nouveau movement. She was part of the influential artistic partnership known as "The Four," which included her husband, architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, her sister Frances Macdonald, and Frances' husband, Herbert MacNair. Margaret's work often featured intricate symbolic imagery, flowing lines, and organic forms, reflecting the ethos of Art Nouveau. She was skilled in various media, including painting, embroidery, and metalwork, and her designs adorned interiors, furniture, and decorative objects. Mackintosh's innovative approach to design and her collaborations with other members of The Four left a lasting impact on the art and design of the early 20th century.
