 Charles Rennie Mackintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (June 7, 1868 – December 10, 1928) was a Scottish architect, designer, and watercolourist who was a designer in the Arts and Crafts movement and also the main exponent of Art Nouveau in Scotland.
Later in life, disillusioned with architecture, Mackintosh worked largely as a watercolourist, painting numerous landscapes and flower studies (often in collaboration with Margaret, with whose style Mackintosh's own gradually converged) in the Suffolk village of Walberswick (to which the pair moved in 1914).
His House for an Art Lover was finally built in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park in 1996, and the University of Glasgow (which owns the majority of his watercolour work) rebuilt a terraced house Mackintosh had designed, and furnished it with his and Margaret's work (it is part of the University's Hunterian Museum).

 The life and times of Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Mackintosh was to become much influenced by Japanese art and the stylised techniques used in drawing and painting plants and flowers.
The name of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who has been described as "a genius ahead of his time", is now seen as synonymous with the Art Nouveau movement.
His work is easily recognisable, with his frequent use of motifs such as the stylised rose, seen in so many of his projects - a trademark of simplification, abstraction and symbolism.

Charles Rennie MacKintosh and the Glasgow School of Art
Thomas Howarth, one of the early Mackintosh scholars considered that 'no single detail of the Glasgow School of Art is borrowed from a historical source' and Pevsner in reference to the building says that 'not a single feature here is derived from period styles'.
Mackintosh absorbs many influences in an entirely personal way to create his own Art Nouveau language.

 what are we reading?
The first and last seem the least problematic, the architect's personal life taking a backseat to his body of work in the case of the first, and the author crediting the mainly interior projects in the first decade of the 20th century to the husband and wife team, arguably the height of Mackintosh's career.
In his World of Art contribution, Crawford attempts to elucidate three problems in his examination of the Scottish architect: the lack of knowledge about the architect's life, the distortion of facts about the architect (what Crawford calls the Mackintosh Myth), and his collaboration with his wife Margaret Macdonald.
Both while and after reading the book, this approach gave me the impression that Mackintosh's design skills (over the oft-used term genius) were never realized to their full potential.
