A Love Story in Design: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh

About this course:

The remarkable artistic collaboration between Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh produced elegant and sensuous forms that would leave a distinctive imprint upon modern design. Their highly imaginative designs in art, architecture, interiors, and furniture intuited an astonishing modernity in turn-of the-century Glasgow, taking inspiration from movements as diverse as Viennese Secessionism, Art Nouveau, and Arts and Crafts. In this course, we explore the couple's innovative architecture, luminous interiors and sumptuous decorative arts that forged a new style for a new age. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.
