Original Description
Margaret Macdonald’s 'Girl With Eyes Shut' and 'Girl With Eyes Open': A Pair is a mesmerizing duo of artworks that embody the ethereal and symbolic qualities of the Glasgow Style, a movement Macdonald pioneered with her husband, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Created in the early 20th century, these pieces reflect Macdonald’s fascination with dreamlike femininity, delicate lines, and muted yet evocative palettes. The girls’ contrasting states—one in serene slumber, the other in quiet awareness—create a poetic duality, suggesting introspection and awakening. Rendered in soft pastels and intricate detailing, the works exude an Art Nouveau elegance while pushing toward modernist abstraction. They hold a significant place in art history as emblematic of Macdonald’s innovative contributions to the British Arts and Crafts Movement and her role in redefining female representation in art.
When displaying this pair, consider a minimalist yet elegant setting to highlight their symbolism. Ideal for a study, bedroom, or serene office space, the artworks thrive against neutral backdrops—soft grays, creams, or pale greens—to complement their subtle tones. Hung at eye level with balanced spacing (approx. 4–6 inches apart), they create a cohesive focal point. Choose frames in slender, gilded or black finishes to mirror the pieces’ intricate linework. For lighting, opt for warm, diffused sources to enhance their dreamlike quality. Pairing them with organic textures—such as a linen-upholstered chair or a brushed-metal desk lamp—will harmonize with the Glasgow Style’s blend of nature and modernity. The pair’s intimate scale suits smaller walls, inviting contemplation in personal spaces.
