This is a hefty volume in terms of size, information and cost. A catalogue raisonné of the furniture and interior design work of the great Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928), this outstanding reference has continued to evolve from its first edition in 1979, and now documents every surviving piece of furniture, all furniture drawings (which allow the reader to see ideas translated into objects), and interior designs—many of which are no longer extant. In his extensive introductory essay, Billcliffe, a leading authority on Mackintosh, presents the architect’s career in context and provides insight into Mackintosh scholarship. Each piece is documented chronologically through contemporary black-and-white in situ photographs, original drawings and more than 250 stunning new color illustrations. Billcliffe’s very readable commentary offers biographical insights into the means and motives of both the artist and his patrons, as well as art-historical insights into the sources, symbolism and aesthetic evolution of Mackintosh’s oeuvre. Out of print for more than 20 years, this fully revised edition is packed with information and new imagery, bringing the objects to life for the reader. If you have only one book on this highly influential figure, let it be this one.

A major architectural study of one of the pioneers of modernism. Charles Rennie Mackintosh was Scotland’s greatest architect and arguably one of the world’s most admired. He had far fewer commissions than his contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright, but with a few bold and innovative structures—the Glasgow School of Art and Hill House among them—he had a profound influence on art and architecture at the turn of the twentieth century. Like Wright, Mackintosh designed in totality, down to the furniture and fabrics used in his structures, and he was influenced by the Japanese, particularly in the simplicity of his designs and themes from nature.

Hailed as a pioneer of modernism, Mackintosh was, however, perhaps truer to the Arts and Crafts movement than has been realized. With both historic photographs and modern images of Mackintosh’s major works taken by the noted architectural photographer Mark Fiennes, this is an essential and beautiful addition to the Mackintosh canon and to architectural history.
