  Charles Rennie MacKintosh and the Glasgow School of Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Mackintosh borrowed significantly from his knowledge of Scottish architecture and many of the identifiable sources are essentially reinterpretations of Scottish themes.
Mackintosh's use of Scottish motifs can be understood against the background of a developing awareness in the cultural environment of late 19th century Scotland of Celtic traditions.
Mackintosh was also aware of progressive theorists in England who were interested in creating a new architectural vocabulary progressing from, but not overwhelmed by, historical forms, and he joined their ideas with an undercurrent of Scottishness in his own thinking.

 Charles Rennie Mackintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (June 7, 1868 – December 10, 1928) was a Scottish architect, designer, and watercolourist who was a designer in the Arts and Crafts movement and also the main exponent of Art Nouveau in Scotland.
Born in Glasgow, and suffering from a bad foot and eye problems, he was free to discover and draw sketches of a great deal of the Scottish countryside as a child.
Later in life, disillusioned with architecture, Mackintosh worked largely as a watercolourist, painting numerous landscapes and flower studies (often in collaboration with Margaret, with whose style Mackintosh's own gradually converged) in the Suffolk village of Walberswick (to which the pair moved in 1914).

From the earliest days of their professional and romantic partnership, Charles and Margaret were as closely in synch as they were joyously in love.  These companion pieces painted for one of Katherine Cranston's Glasgow tearooms in 1900, the year of their marriage, convey this with more eloquence than words.
