We have listed below a selection of books on the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. To make it easier for you to find the right book we have indicated whether it is: for the general reader, for students, for academics and for those with a specialist interests. This book is a fantastic introduction to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the man, the architect, the artist. Alan Crawford sets out his stall in the foreword to challenge what he sees as the "Mackintosh myth" and instead addresses the facts of the artist's life and works and, crucially, the nature of his collaboration with his wife Margaret.
Mackintosh Queen's Cross is one of Glasgow's hidden architectural gems and is the only church building in the world designed by the great Scottish architect designer and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is now the international headquarters of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. We believe that education, skills and learning are the key to success and living a prosperous and fulfilled life. Using Mackintosh's iconic building is a major asset in delivering lively learning resources and workshops for schools.
The Society has recently completed a major survey of the surviving Mackintosh built heritage. This is a landmark achievement as the first comprehensive condition survey of the Mackintosh built heritage and an important milestone in our understanding and preservation of Mackintosh's legacy. The central aim of the Survey was to determine the current condition of a range of prioritised Mackintosh buildings and related works, including interiors and gravestones, within public and private ownership. The Mackintosh Buildings Survey is one of the best examples of the Society's value and contribution to conserving Scotland's heritage.
This society seems to be loyal to CRM's vision and goals. This enables the influence of his style, and talent, along with his wife Margaret Macdonald, to continue to make its mark on the world. I for one, am grateful.
Life Member since 2000! A wonderful organisation even if we can only make it to Scotland every decade or so.
