Subject(s):

Summary: A persuasive reappraisal of the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose buildings and interiors in and around Glasgow, Scotland, established him as one of the great figures of early 20th-century architecture and design. David Brett argues that Mackintosh's originality was grounded in a highly subjective "poetics of workmanship, " in which the structure, features, interiors and furnishings of each building became subject to a unifying system of forms, metaphors and unconscious associations.
