In The Glasgow Style
13
April to 2 May 1999An
exhibition presented by The Antique Trader and David Bonsall
There is room for the highest
qualities in the pattern of a carpet, the design of a wallpaper,
a bit of repoussé or wrought iron or wood carving. The sincere
designer and craftsmen ... with his invention and skill applied
to the accessories of everyday life may do more to keep alive
the sense of beauty than the greatest painter that ever lived'.
Open letter to Glasgow students
written by Walter Crane in 1897

'Nowhere has the modern movement of art
been entered upon more seriously that Glasgow; the church, the
school, the house, the restaurant, the shop, the poster, the
book, with its printing, illustration and binding have all come
under the spell of the new influence'.
