Charles Rennie Mackintosh<br />

1868–1928.<br />

Architect. Artist. Designer. Icon.<br />

The work of the Scottish architect, designer<br />

and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh is today<br />

celebrated internationally. Mackintosh was one<br />

of the <strong>most</strong> sophisticated exponents of the<br />

theory of the room as a work of art, and created<br />

distinctive furniture of great formal elegance. In<br />

Glasgow, you will see the finest examples of his<br />

buildings and interiors and examples of his <strong>creative</strong><br />

collaborations with his wife, the accomplished<br />

artist and designer Margaret Macdonald.


Welcome to this fourth<br />

At the end of the 19th century, a far-reaching<br />

movement which brought about an artistic<br />

regeneration emerged in Europe, with<br />

Nature as its chief source of inspiration.<br />

From Barcelona to Helsinki and from<br />

Glasgow to Nancy, nature shaped this new<br />

aesthetic and gave life to forms which<br />

revolutionised lifestyles, as science and art<br />

were united in the drive for modernity. The<br />

Nature of Art Nouveau is an exhibition which<br />

invites you to explore “nature’s temple”, as<br />

celebrated by Charles Baudelaire, a world<br />

incorporating symbols, scientific discoveries<br />

and influences from faraway lands.<br />
