While he did not receive much recognition in his hometown of Glasgow during his lifetime, his bold new blend of simplicity and poetic detail inspired modernists across Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMackintosh's avant-garde approach embraced a variety of media as well as fresh stylistic devices. His multi-faceted oeuvre incorporated architecture, furniture, graphic design, landscapes, and flower studies. He embraced strong lines, elegant proportions, and natural motifs, combining an adventurous dose of japonisme with a modernist sensibility for function. He preferred bold black typography, restrained shapes, and tall, generous windows suffusing rooms with light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMuch of his work was collaborative practice with his wife, fellow artist Margaret Macdonald. The couple made up half of the loose Glasgow collective known as \"The Four\"; the other two were Margaret's sister, Frances, and her husband, Herbert MacNair. On the continent, the \"Glasgow Style\" was met with delight. In Italy, Germany, and, in particular, Austria, artists of the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau drew much from its rectilinear yet lyrical forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"biblio-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eFormat\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback | 96 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eDimensions\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e210 x 260 x 12.7mm | 556g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"datePublished\"\u003e21 Aug 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemscope=\"Taschen GmbH\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/publishers\/Taschen-GmbH\" itemprop=\"url\"\u003eTaschen GmbH\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication City\/Country\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCologne, Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eLanguage\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN10\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3836561603\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN13\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9783836561600\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Basheer Graphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40841524969667,"sku":"9783836561600","price":29.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/7032\/products\/183.jpg?v=1633342162","url":"https:\/\/www.basheergraphic.live\/products\/mackintosh","provider":"Basheer Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
