DOWNLOAD EBOOKCharles Rennie Mackintosh's (Scottish, 1868-1928) textile designs are not widely known-unlike his architecture, furniture, and watercolors. Fortunately, many of his original drawings for textile designs, made between 1915 and 1923, have survived and are presented in this book, an expanded and revised edition of Mackintosh: Textile Designs (John Murray, 1982). Roger Billcliffe is a noted expert on Scottish art and on Mackintosh in particular. His previous books include Mackintosh Watercolours (Taplinger, 1978); Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings and Interior Designs (Taplinger, 1979), and Mackintosh Furniture (1984).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCharles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of 1880–1920 produced some of the most enduring and inspiring decorative designs, which still influence designers in the 21st century. Here the timeless classic motifs of Mackintosh and the Glasgow School are transferred to embroidered items for the home by leading embroiderer Dorothy Wood. Some 20 projects are covered, complete with detailed instructions, step-by-step photography of key techniques, and over 80 photographs of the finished items. The book covers the history of the movement and the various crafts that it was applied to, including enamel work, stained glass, bookbinding and metal work. It also examines the motifs most often associated with this style, including elongated organic forms, plant forms based on early herbals and attenuated, stylized female figures. The projects include wall hangings, cushions, throws, screens, table linen, scarves, bags and bed linen, using natural materials in the soft pastel colours of the period. Techniques covered include machine embroidery, appliqué, stained glass appliqué, reverse appliqué, black binding, braid work, couching, satin stitch, drawn thread work and stencilling.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPamela Robertson, an acknowledged authority on Mackintosh, examines the artist's use of plant forms as decorative and formal sources for his designs in architecture, interiors, textiles, and graphics. She shows the ways in which nature provided lifelong inspiration for his work and analyzes his recurring use of the rose, a design motif which held a special significance as a symbol of art, beauty, and love for both Mackintosh and his artist wife, Margaret Macdonald. In addition, the author looks at Mackintosh's paintings and designs in relation to the work of contemporary symbolists, Japanese floral art, and the European tradition of scientific botanical illustration. Mackintosh's renowned skills as a draftsman are immediately apparent in his flower paintings. The sixty full-page colorplates presented here reveal early pencil sketchbook drawings done while Mackintosh was an apprentice architect and a student at the Glasgow School of Art, watercolors made on England's North Sea coast in 1914-15, and sophisticated still-life compositions of later years. Reproduced as well are striking floral-based textile designs of the 1920s, abstractions that placed him at the forefront of Britain's avant-garde movement. Photographs of his work in architecture and interiors are also included.
