Charles Rennie Mackintosh's finest work dates from about a dozen
intensely creative years around 1900. His buildings in Glasgow, and
especially his craggy masterpiece the Glasgow School of Art, are
more complex and playful than anything in Britain at that time. His
interiors, many of them designed in collaboration with his wife,
Margaret Macdonald, are both spare and sensuous, creating a world
of heightened aesthetic sensibility. Finally, during the 1920s, he
painted a series of watercolours which are as original as anything
he had done before. Since his death, Mackintosh has been lauded as
a pioneer of the Modern Movement and as a master of Art Nouveau.
This book, with illustrations that include specially prepared plans
and sections, takes a clear-eyed view of Mackintosh and his
achievement, stripping away the myths to reveal a designer of
extraordinary sophistication and inventiveness.
