The Wassail

Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect, designer and watercolourist. He was a designer in the Arts and Crafts movement and also the main expotent of the Art Nouveau movement in the United Kingdom. He had a considerable influence on European Design. He took his inspiration from his Scottish upbringing and blended them with the flourish of Art Nouveau and the simplicity of Japanese forms. Working in architecture he developed his own style:a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves e.g. the Mackintosh rose motif.
