A great chronological history....,
By
This review is from: Mackintosh (Photo Album) (Paperback)
....of both the man and his work. His story is told form the beginning and includes all his major art forms and projects.It demonstrates his stunning vision gloriously and tell us of the Glasgow School with great sympathy and does not overlook the important contribution of the other Glasgow four, including Mackintosh's wife and her sister. The fact that this a "Broad Sheet" style book adds to attraction, the pictures are stunning. A great homage to a great man and a great movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Taschen excellence!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charles Rennie Mackintosh: (1868-1928) (Big Series) (English, French, and German) (English and French Edition) (Paperback)
As usual Taschen gives good value! This was the first book I read about C. R. Mackintosh, which is indeed an amazing character, and one of the initiators of modernism. I ended up travelling to Glasgow to see some of Mackintosh fascinating interiors and buildings. Go there! The book is easily read, with gorgious pictures, and a good introduction. By the same authors, I also recommand "20th century design", which I believe is going to be published in the States in a short while.
