Mackintosh is a celebration of the extraordinary career of one of the
most intriguing and influential artists of his time, Charles Rennie
Mackintosh. This book follows his artistic development, from his early
architectural and interior designs in Glasgow to his eventual withdrawal
into landscape painting in the South of France.
Mackintosh was a man of daring vision, who mastered the decorative arts,
architecture, design and painting with spirited determination and
self-belief. Known internationally as the father of the 'Glasgow Style',
he became a driving force behind a new approach to modern architecture
and design, as well as the forerunner of Art Deco and the Modern
Movement.
