Charles Rennie Mackinntosh
The Scotchman Mackintosh, architect, designer,
interior decorator and painter, is thought
of an exponent of the "Liberty" school. His very
personal style is, anyway, considered more akin
to the viennese school which developed around
Jospeh Hoffmann and Moser than to the french
and belgian art nouveau whose decorative
excesses he detested. He treated wood as a
ductile material and loved to cover his forniture
with laqueres which camouflaged joints and
showed off only the defining shapes.
Mackintosh and his friends wanted to distinguish
themself from the stylistic confusion and
mediocrity of the Victorian era and in this intent
had the backinf of the English "Arts and Crafts"
movement. Aside Glasgow which hosts his bold
and notewothy School of Arts building, he is little
know on the Continent where he had partecipated
in the 1901 Viennese Secession exhibit
and the Art Decorative Moderne Exhibit in Turin
in 1902. In Vienna he meets Hoffmann, Moser,
Olbrich and the painter Klimt.
It is during this period that he receives the "Zeitschrift
fuer Innendekoration" magazine award
for the a desing for the home of a collector and
the decor for the music room of Fritz Waerndorfer,
the patron of the sucession.
The productive years between 1897 and 1905
are followed by static ones, from 1916 to 1918 a
second period of success: then silence. Without
commissions, Mackintosh and his wife Margaret,
his collaborator, moved to France where he
dedicated himself to painting. He lived modestly
of his savings and died in poverty.
