GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART

In the final years of the 19th century it was decided that the Corporation galleries were no longer sufficient to house the Glasgow School of Art, and Francis Newbery, the school's director, called together a meeting of the governors to discuss fund raising for a new building.
Mackintosh created something new, and it was to become his masterpiece - being not only innovative and his largest project to date, but perhaps one of the most influential buildings ever constructed in Great Britain. He had supplied what the governors had requested: a plain functional building created with the artist in mind.
