Manx Artists
At that time the Isle of Man was home to just a handful of prominent artists who, even then, were so modest that few people are probably aware of their Manx connections. The most influential was Archibald Knox - widely known for his designs if not his name. Knox was one of the leading designers of the Art Nouveau movement whose Celtic-inspired work became the keynote of Liberty fabric and wallpaper and many of his finest pieces are now housed in the Manx Museum. But Knox was just of many cultural figures to benefit from the Celtic legacy.
