| Summary: | 2018 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Glasgow's famous son, architect and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A year-long celebration of Mackintosh's contribution to the arts, and to the making of the world-famous Glasgow Style is taking place throughout the city, including a major exhibition, and tour. This book focuses on highlights from Glasgow Museums' collections, and considers what was happening in the city that encouraged the creativity of Mackintosh and contemporaries such as Margaret and Frances Macdonald, Jessie M King, Talwin Morris, James Salmon amongst others to flourish. It looks at architecture in the city, 'The Four', the influence of Japan, the early architecture, the city's technical studios and artisans, crafts, furniture design, the spread of the Glasgow Style, the world-famous tearoom interiors, and Mackintosh's later years in London and France. Beautifully illustrated throughout, including some works never before on public display. |
