Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 to 1928) was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolourist and artist whose approach shared much with European Symbolism. His work, developed alongside that of his wife Margaret Macdonald, influenced European design movements including Art Nouveau and Secessionism and was praised by modernists such as Josef Hoffmann. Born in Glasgow and later dying in London, he is regarded as among the most important figures of the Modern Style.
