Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Glasgow Four) - Design & Architecture - I
Glasgow School:
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Glasgow, 7 June 1868 -- London, 10 December 1928) was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolourist and artist.
Whilst apprenticed to the architect John Hutchinson, he began attending evening classes in architecture at Glasgow School of Art, where he won many prizes and a travelling scholarship to Italy, France and Belgium. On his return to Glasgow, he met the two sisters Frances and Margaret MacDonald, and together with Herbert MacNair, they formed the Glasgow Four group. The group created a specifically Scottish variant of European Art Nouveau.
He was, quite literally, a comet streaking across the Glasgow horizon for ten years. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century the fire had burned out and Mackintosh was well on his way to becoming an embittered man. In 1914 his association with Honeyman and Keppie was dissolved and soon thereafter he and Margaret left Glasgow and moved to England where they lived for the next eight years and where little work came his way. In 1923 the Mackintoshes took a long holiday in southern France and made the decision to stay. For the next five years Mackintosh painted masterful watercolors of the French countryside. Little is known of Margaret's activities during this period. On December 10, 1928 soon after being diagnosed with throat cancer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh passed away. Margaret wandered Europe and in 1932 she returned to Chelsea, England where she died on January 7, 1933.

23 May 2014: Terrible day - Glasgow School of Art fire.
The world famous Glasgow School of Art has suffered devasting damage after a fire ripped through the listed Charles Rennie Mackintosh building.
Firefighters are still struggling to control the blaze, which appeared to have started in the basement of the building shortly after midday. Eye witnesses feared that the whole west wing of the old building has been lost, including the irreplaceable Mackintosh library and the Hen Run, a famous corridor running along the roof which linked the west and east wing.
The school was completed in 1909 and is considered by many to be Mackintosh's masterwork.

Glasgow Four - Margaret and Frances MacDonald, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, James Herbert McNair
Glasgow School:
Charles R. Mackintosh ( Glasgow,7.6.1868 -- London,10.12.1928) y J. Herbert McNair (Glasgow,1868 -- Argyllshire,1955) se conocieron en la Escuela de Arte de Glasgow, se hicieron amigos y experimentaron con un nuevo estilo.
Allí conocieron a las hermanas Margaret (Tripton-England,5.11.1864 -- London,1933) y Frances (England,1873 -- Glasgow,1921) MacDonald, tambien estudiantes de arte y con un estilo de dibujo muy parecido.
Por esto Frances Newbery, Directora de la Escuela de Arte decidió que debían trabajar juntos los cuatro. Resultó todo un éxito y en la exhibición de la Escuela fueron bautizados como The Four (Los Cuatro)
Empezaron a trabajar juntos y a tener un gran éxito en 1884, basando su estilo en los Prerrafaelitas, el Arts and Crafts, y el estilo japonés, aunque muy influenciados por el Art Nouveau. Hacia 1920 su estilo vanguardista en arte y diseño, Glasgow Style ya traspasaba las fronteras de Glasgow
Frances y J.Herbert McNair se casaron en 1899. Frances murió en 1921 oficialmente de una hemorragia cerebral, aunque con el extendido rumor de suicidio. Su marido Herbert, juró entonces no volver a diseñar ni pintar nunca más, y dos décadas después, quemó un gran baúl de dibujos y acuarelas de Frances y suyas. Se mudó a un asilo de ancianos en 1943, murió en 1955.
Margaret y Charles R.Mackintosh, se casaron en 1900, y diseñaron juntos hasta el último detalle de todos sus proyectos completos de interiorismo y arquitectura.
Es importante valorar el trabajo de Margaret y Frances MacDonald dentro del contexto conservador de la Inglaterra de finales del XIX, en el que Ruskin, uno de los pensadores y críticos de arte más reconocido del momento, escribe: La educación no debe ir encaminada al desarrollo de la mujer, sino a la renuncia a sí misma...
