Margaret Macdonald, painter and glass artist. one of the most influential figures in modern aesthetics, she was a pioneer, being a part of the first group of women to be admitted in the Glasgow School of Arts.
She, along with her sister Frances, and her future husband, the celebrated architect Charles Rennie Mcintosh and Herbert Mcnair, formed a collaborative group (the four) with shared aesthetic vision.
