Mackintosh, Charles Rennie
Born June 7, 1868, in Glasgow; died Dec. 10, 1928, in London. Scottish architect. Mackintosh worked in Glasgow and London. In his buildings he achieved a flexibility and elegance of design that reveal the aesthetically expressive possibilities of construction design and building materials. His chief work was the Glasgow School of Art (1898-1909). Mackintosh was an architect in the style of art nouveau and as such exerted an important influence on the development of rationalism in Great Britain, Germany, and Austria. As a member of the association of artist-designers known as ’The Four” (organized in 1890), Mackintosh concerned himself with interior decoration and furniture design. REFERENCEHowarth, T.
