Most people have heard of the Mackintosh style even if they haven\u2019t studied any sort of art history or design. This style was named after Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is characterized by his signature minimalistic style. He was a prolific designer, artist, architect and furniture builder who attended the Glasgow School, through his life and work he became one of the most influential figures in stained glass art<\/a> of his time and even in present day. Among his many accolades, he had a succinct style of furniture that set him apart from other designers of his day and a still popular signature stained glass style, which includes the Mackintosh rose.<\/p>\n No one can say for sure where Mackintosh\u2019s style came from but we do know that the 1890s were a decade of great learning and artistic expansion for him. Around this time he traveled to Italy and decided to continue his design education. While his style is very different than Italian works of the time, his attention to color and romantic Italian themes, like floral patterns in his work, show the impact this trip had on his work. However, one would characterize his work as that of progressively modern for his time and even still today. He was an incredibly influential designer and some people call him the founder of the popular Art Nouveau still we see on buildings and in art today.<\/p>\n The most commonly known and often imitated motifs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh are his signature roses. They are minimal but not less beautiful for it. Their wonderful natural curves and rich textures set them apart from other floral designs, as well as his use of bold colors against clear glass. They are definitely one of the world\u2019s most gorgeous and recognized stained glass motifs and a picture of doing more with less.<\/p>\n Watch the video below for more on Charles Rennie Mackintosh:<\/p>\n https:\/\/vimeo.com\/275668270<\/p>\n While no studio today can claim to live up to Mackintosh\u2019s signature style, we at Stained Glass Fort Worth, offer marvelous stained glass windows in the style of Charles Mackintosh which are on par with his original designs.
