Synopsis
Now in paperback, this celebration of one of the world's most popular and innovative modern designers is a reasonably priced, comprehensive, and thoroughly illustrated survey of the artist's life and work. Here we are treated to magnificent Mackintosh sketches, paintings, and etchings, as well as photographs of his buildings, interiors, furniture, glasswork, fixtures, ironwork, tile, sculpture, kitchenware, fabrics -- even such novelties as a tea room menu, a grandfather clock, and a rustic garden gate. Author Elizabeth Wilhide explores the artist's early days, his inspiration and education, and his later works of mastery, as well as many of his lesser-known pieces. In addition, she includes a valuable list of Mackintosh sites to visit abroad. With interest in the Arts and Crafts style at an all-time high, and major exhibitions of Mackintosh work touring throughout 1998, this is a solid addition to any design and decor collection.

"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." - Publisher.
