Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928)

Architect, designer and artist, Mackintosh is today celebrated internatio­nally as one of the most significan­t talents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He spent most of his life in his birthplace, Glasgow, a city central to an understand­ing of his achievemen­ts. It is here that the most important of his surviving work is to be found. In architectu­re, Mackintosh developed his own style, including the Mackintosh Rose motif, a design which features throughout Glasgow on buildings such as the Glasgow School of Art, Willow Tearooms and the Lighthouse.
