Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) is now recognised as being father of the 'Glasgow Style' and a significant driving force behind a new approach to modern architecture. Much of his work was in collaboration with his wife, Margaret. Mackintosh took his inspiration from Scottish traditions, blended with the flourish of art nouveau and elements of Japanese style. Although his work became unfashionable in his own lifetime it has attracted a significant following in recent years. The use of images and ideas drawn from nature was a reoccurring theme through much of Mackintoshs work and roses, in particular, became an important design motif. Mackintoshs earliest sketchbooks include drawings of roses and stylised versions appear in his graphic designs as well as in a variety of glass and beaten metal panels. Towards the end of his life, Mackintosh used the rose motif again to great effect in his final watercolours and designs for textiles.
