Mackintosh, Charles Rennie

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | Copyright

Mackintosh, Charles Rennie (1868–1928) Scottish architect, artist, and designer. He was one of the most successful and gifted exponents of art nouveau. His buildings, such as the Glasgow School of Art (1898–1909), were notable for their simplicity of line and skilful use of materials. Mackintosh's ideas, some of which came from traditional Scottish buildings, had an enormous influence on early 20th-century European architecture, especially in Germany and Austria.
