"Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), architect, designer and watercolourist, is perhaps, the most significant, and certainly the most enigmatic of the personalities contributing to the rise of modern architecture. A native of Glasgow, he became the leader of a small but intensely vigorous group of local designers whose unorthodox craftwork and furniture aroused a storm of controversy in the 1890's. At the turn of the century he emerged as a figure of international importance..." The author traces the development of Mackintosh's style from experimental drawings, to his mature architectural work and water-colours.
