Summary: Coffee Table Treasure
Review: This book is a treasure! In The Mackintosh Style: Design and Decor by Elizabeth Wilhide, the reader is introduced to the multifaceted talent and visionary, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. His influence encompasses architectural exteriors and interiors, furniture and home furnishings, stained glass and water colors. The book contains beautiful color pictures exampling each design arena. In the text, the author entwines biograghical information about Mackintosh, his family, his work and his time, thus setting the stage of the Arts and Crafts movement in Scotland and Europe. Since I am of Scotish decent and showcase two Mackintosh watercolor reproductions in my livingroom, for me this book is a keeper!
