Charles Rennie Mackintosh: His Work And Inspiration

Among many other accolades, he had a succinct style of furniture that set him apart from other designers of his day and even more so his one-of-a-kind signature style stained glass
Mackintosh Style Stained Glass
No one can exactly pinpoint where Mackintosh’s style came from but we do know that the 1890s were a decade of great learning and artistic expansion for him. Around this time he continued forward with his architectural training and traveled to Italy. While his style is very different than Italian works of the time, you can see a close attention to color and romantic Italian themes, like floral patterns in his work. However, one would characterize his work as that of progressively modern for his time and definitely with a spirit of romanticism. He was such an influential designer that one could call him the father of some of the most influential art deco style we see all around us on buildings and art today.
