Question

Why is charles rennie macintosh important?

Answer 1

Mackintosh's architectural work in Glasgow, Scotland was closely tied to the early Arts and Crafts movement. He designed the Glasgow School of Art, which is thought to be one of the best examples of Arts and Crafts architecture.

Answer 2

By the end of the 19th century Glasgow School of Art was one of the leading art academies in Europe and after early success in the fine arts, the late 1890s saw Glasgow’s reputation in architecture and the decorative arts reach an all time high. At the very heart of this success was a talented young architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh whose reputation was to quickly spread beyond his native city and who, over a century later, is still regarded as the father of Glasgow Style.
