| biography:
| Architect, designer, and painter, born in Glasgow, W Scotland, UK. He attended evening classes at Glasgow School of Art, joined the established firm of Honeyman and Kepple in 1889, and in 1900 married Margaret Mackintosh (1865–1933), with whom he worked in close collaboration. He became a leader of the ‘Glasgow Style’, a movement related to Art Nouveau. His work exercised considerable influence on European design, and included the Glasgow School of Art (1896–1909), and Hill House in Helensburgh (1902–6). His designs included detailed interiors, textiles, furniture, and metalwork. His work was exhibited at the Vienna Secession Exhibition in 1900, and in his later years he turned to painting, producing a series of watercolours (1923–7). He left Glasgow in 1914, and eventually settled in London. |
