The many colours of Mackintosh

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2005 / July 8

He was one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, creating a style that became the epitome of Scottish art nouveau. His trademark images adorn everything from calendars to tea mugs and examples of his original work - including chairs, tables and cutlery - are among the most collectable of any Scottish artist. His architectural designs are equally renowned, with the famous School of Art building and the Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow still visited by fans from around the world.

Organisers hope to display more than 40 watercolour paintings created by the artist in the last years of his life.
