Charles Rennie Mackintosh, architect, designer and artist is celebrated around the world as one of the most significant talents to have emerged in the period from the mid 1890s to the late 1920s. He was one of the greatest, most original talents of this time and has been judged a precursor of firstly the modernist style and subsequently of the Art Deco movement. His legacy lives on all around us in his instantly recognisable style. A MODERN MAN takes a critical look at Mackintosh's life and artistic career and the importance of the friends and patrons who provided him with regular work when it mattered most. Influential critics, including the designer Terence Conran, give their views on Mackintosh's current reputation. All are unanimous in their appreciation of "the complete designer". Together, they recognise his importance as an influential architect of the 20th century and acknowledge that Charles Rennie Mackintosh was very much A MODERN MAN. This is the story of the man and his life and his work.
So tragic that an iconic architectural Charles Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece Glasgow College of Art housing archive of Mackintosh pattern books has/maybe been lost, and much prescient student work besides, in a devastating recent conflagration...
burnt down again, a complete loss
Wonderful program - thanks for posting. Have learnt much about a very great artist. And the music here is perfect ( an all too rare phenomenon in documentaries ).
I agree..so much of the music on posted documentaries use vanity music,that the poster inserts music they think is groovy ( the documentary seems to be secondary in importance) without complimenting the context of the content of the video nor the period of time nor the ambience..You can't go wrong using the piano music of Ryuichi Sakamoto,the Professor.Very informative presentation.thanks.
My great admiration and respect to Mackintosh's heritage was expressed in design of restaurant in contemporary style with references to scottish art nouveau. You can explore and estimate my project here www.genesis-interiors.ru/dizajn-restorana/
Regarding the House for an Art Lover, what about the kitchen and bathroom(s)? A missed opportunity. The same applies to the house on Hillhead Street. Are you seriously telling me these features were not important to the architect/designer? As we Glaswegians say: "TADGERS!"
Juliet Stevenson is such a wonderful narrator.
CRM , a fenomenal artist architect , a 100 years ahead of his time .
Le Corbusier , eat your hart out .
