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 />
