35-03 Art Nouveau 1890-1914 - Charles Rennie Mackintosh

I look at the life and work of the Scottish architect and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A leading, international figure in the early twentieth century he disappeared from view but is now regarded as one of the most important British architects of the last 150 years. I also look at the work of his wife Margaret Macdonald a leading Scottish artist at the beginning of the twentieth century whose work may have influenced Gustav Klimt when she and Mackintosh exhibited at the Eighth Secessionist Exhibition in Vienna in 1900.

What a great video! Just visited the Kelvingrove Museum and fell in love with the works of CRM and MacDonald sisters. Thank you so much for the informative video.

Thank you so much for doing this Laurence.
I was never an art student so I’m researching Art Nouveau for making leaded glass for a front doorway in a home in Manchester and having loved CRM’s work for years started with him.
What a fantastic introduction to the works of the genius Mackintosh MacDonald duo.

Dear, prof. Shafe, Thank you for this lecture, and your website is not accessible at the moment!

Apologies, my website came under attack from hackers and I am moving it to a more secure and faster server. The engineers are having some problems with the move which, hopefully, will be resolved in the next few days.

This was very informative ..... My belief is that he didn't change with the time ...F L Wright seemed to think forward in his architecture that probably made him last longer in design thru the century ....I wonder if Klimt would have lasted longer had he not died keeping the same style of painting 🖌️..... just my opinion......Why would they do that .. when all you do is lecture ...?? Very odd.....

Another masterclass on masterpieces ! He was surely comparable as an architect to Antoni Gaudi & Frank Lloyd wright & a far superior painter.
