Moorcroft The Glasgow Institute Plaque

Inspired by a poster for The Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts c.1895 Nicola uses a dramatic colour palette of greens, white, black and purple. Stylised round roses in shades of pink and red appear in the top corners of the design. Below two figures, their hair flowing, stand silently in contemplation.
The original poster in black, orange and khaki, was created by sisters Margaret and Frances Macdonald and Frances's husband James Herbert MacNair. These three artists together with Margaret's husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh made up 'The Four' - who together made an important contribution to the development and recognition of a distinctive 'Glasgow Style'.
