Charles Rennie Mackintosh : The Complete Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs

[Third Edition]

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Roger Billcliffe

description

Third edition of a comprehensive overview of the furniture design of Charles Rennie Mackintosh by Roger Billcliffe. "This book reproduces, discusses and documents all the available furniture, furniture drawings, and interior designs by Mackintosh. After an introduction in which Roger Billcliffe perceptively analyses Mackintosh's career, the book is arranged as a complete chronological catalogue of Mackintosh's oeuvre as a furniture designer. As well as the entries on individual designs and pieces, the catalogue raisonné includes essays on Mackintosh's major commissions and on his output in general at specific periods of his career. [...] This new edition illustrates, in particular, a number of major pieces listed in the first edition but which could not then be located. The most important of these are associated with the Hous'hill Glasgow, for Kate Cranston and her husband - a set of interiors, designed in 1904, which can be seen as the pinnacle of Mackintosh's achievement in furniture design in Glasgow. In addition, there are illustrations of the reconstruction of the Mackintoshes' own house, opened in 1981, now at Glasgow University." -- from interior flap. Includes bibliography, list of colour plates, index, and addenda.
