This book is one of a kind, in that it creates inspiration for needlework enthuasists and designers to make Mackintosh inspired designs in needlecraft. It illustrates both the instantly recognizable motifs and the lesser known textile designs and watercolours. It shows how Rennie Mackintosh was influenced by both Margaret and Frances Macdonald and how he took inspiration from such diverse styles as Japonism and Celtic art.
This is an excellent book detailing the life and works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. His finest work dates from about a dozen intensely creative years around 1900. His buildings in Glasgow and especially his masterpiece, the Glasgow School of Art, are more complex and playful than any other work in Britain at that time. His interiors, many of them designed in collaboration with his wife, Margaret Macdonald, are both spare and sensuous; a world of heightened aesthetic sensibility inside the Willow Tea Rooms and The Hill House. This is a good reference book which is factual and accurate and reveals Mackintosh as a designer of extraordinary sophistication and inventiveness.
This book examines in detail three Arts & Crafts houses, by introducing us to three Architects, Mackintosh, Voysey and Greene & Greene. It is well written and easy to read and contains a large number of good photographs of the exteriors and interiors of the houses. There are also drawn elevations, floor plans, sections and details.
This book is by the curator of the University of Glasgow's Mackintosh collection, Pamela Robertson. Flowers are evident in much of Mackintosh's work. His technique used to illustrate botanical specimen plants are exceptional and display Mackintosh's outstanding perfection and talent for his artistry and the conversion into design using natural shapes, colours and stark contrasts between light and dark design. The book also summarises Mackintosh's life and successes.
