Description
The art of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (Scottish, 1865–1933) is rooted in symbolism and Celtic imagery, and influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement. Among her best-known works are the gessoed panels created for Hous’hill, the Glasgow residence her husband, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, designed for art patron Catherine Cranston.
