Synopsis
The Mackintosh Style celebrates the work of one of the most influential figures in modern design. Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland's greatest architect and designer, was remarkable for the wide range of his achievements and the clarity of his vision. His work - from architectural masterpieces on a public and domestic scale to innovative interior decorations and designs for furniture to the most delicate household utensils - is of exceptional elegance and refinement, revealing an incomparable talent of great originality.
Mackintosh was ahead of his time - too far ahead to reap the rewards of his genius. In a brief career, dogged by disappointment and lack of recognition, Mackintosh created the first masterpiece of modern architecture: the Glasgow School of Art, a building which expresses all the vibrant creativity of his home city at the turn of the century. His design of family houses shows a practicality as well as beauty, while the tearoom interiors he created for his patron, Miss Cranston, display the exquisite perfection of detail that characterized his work.
From tiles to wrought ironwork, tables to the arranging of flowers, knives and forks to fireplaces, Mackintosh concerned himself with every aspect of architecture and decoration, dissolving conventional boundaries between art, craft, and design.
