Charles became an apprentice architect for a company in Glasgow. He enrolled in evening classes at Glasgow School of Art in the 1890s. His talent grew and he won prizes for his work, including an award that allowed him to take a tour of Italy to study the architecture. Charles also met three friends at the School of Art. The group became known as ‘The Four’. They were Charles, James Herbert McNair, and the sisters; Margaret and Frances Macdonald. They produced new art and designs which became known as the ‘Glasgow Style’. In 1899 McNair and Frances Macdonald married. Charles married Margaret Macdonald the following year.

  • Critical Values: the Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It Is a Great Pleasure to Be Back
    Keynote Speech Strand 4 Critical Values: The Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It is a great pleasure to be back in Barcelona for this exciting Congress. I am grateful to the organisers, in particular Lluis Bosch and Mireia Freixa, for the invitation to speak to you today on Mackintosh, and to all those whose hard work has delivered such a successful and stimulating event. The strand this afternoon is research, specifically research in progress. This session invites us to reflect, for a moment, on critical values and critical fortunes. How are reputations and understandings formed? What value systems are they based on? How do they shift, and why? What are the future directions for us as curators, scholars, teachers? What I aim to present briefly today is threefold: an overview of the critical literature and research surrounding the career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh from around 1900 to 2015 (Fig. 1) – in the hope that this case study will provide some parallels with your individual experiences as researchers, whether working with male and/or female subjects; some reflections on the recently launched Mackintosh Architecture research website; and finally some general remarks on future directions for research. What emerges is the significance of context and individuals; the catalyst of curators and exhibitions; the gradual transference of Mackintosh's artistic legacy into the public domain; and, for Mackintosh at least, the central role of one institution, the University of Glasgow. In 1996, Alan Crawford divided Mackintosh's 'life after death' into three phases which comprised Mackintosh and the Architects, the Enthusiasts, and the Market.1 The trajectory of the scholarly presentation of Mackintosh’s work can, I believe, be divided into five broad phases, though of course at times these overlap: 1.

  • The Willow Tea Rooms Trust
    O-032-17 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION 3105102 BY THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS TRUST FOR THE TRADE MARK THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS AND THE OPPOSITION THERETO UNDER NUMBER 405148 BY ANNE MULHERN Background 1. The Willow Tea Rooms Trust (“the applicant”) applied for the trade mark THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS on 22 April 2015 in classes 35, 41, 42 and 43. 2. The application was accepted and published in the Trade Marks Journal for opposition purposes on 26 June 2015. Anne Mulhern opposes the trade mark application under sections 5(2)(b), 5(3) and 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act (“the Act”). For sections 5(2)(b) and 5(3), Ms Mulhern relies upon two earlier trade mark registrations which she owns, as follows: (i) 1276805 (series of 2 marks) Class 42: Restaurant, tea room, catering and cafe services; all included in Class 42; but not including any of the aforesaid services relating to the provision of alcoholic drinks. Filing date: 1 October 1986; date registration procedure completed: 12 July 1991 (ii) 2251332A (series of 8 marks): Page 2 of 73 Goods and services in classes 9, 11, 16, 20, 21, 24, 30 and 43. Filing date: 3 November 2000; date registration procedure completed: 8 March 2002. 3. Ms Mulhern’s claim under section 5(2)(b) is that there exists a likelihood of confusion owing to the similarities/identity between the marks and the goods/services. Under section 5(3) of the Act, Ms Mulhern claims that the earlier marks have a reputation in certain goods and services such that use of the application without due cause would take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, the distinctive character or the repute of the earlier marks.

  • Glasgow Herald Buildings
    M072 Glasgow Herald Buildings Introduction The major alterations and additions to the Buchanan Street offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper were one of John Honeyman & Keppie's biggest jobs, and one of the outstanding commercial building projects of 1890s Glasgow. The main element (phase 3 in John Honeyman & Keppie's job book) was a large new building at the rear in Mitchell Street. The job books also record a number of smaller, self-contained schemes for fitting out individual offices, and for other alterations. Authorship: Mackintosh himself claimed responsibility for the Mitchell Street building. His handwriting is on many of the surviving drawings, at least one contemporary architectural periodical ascribed the 'individuality' of the design to him, and the architect W. S. Moyes, who later worked in Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh's office, stated the Glasgow Herald was Mackintosh's design. 1 However, it is extremely unlikely that such an important commission would have been placed entirely in his hands while he was still a young assistant, and there must have been substantial input from John Keppie, and possibly John Honeyman. Alternative addresses: 7 Mitchell Lane 60–76 Mitchell Street Cost from job book: Phase 1: £357 1s 10½d; Phase 2: £132 14s 0d; Phase 3: £64,210 13s 5d; Phase 4: £537 6s 5d; Phase 5: £5033 9s 2d; Phase 6: £3065 4s 5d; Phase 7: £107 17s 6d; Phase 8: £3971 16s 7d Status: Partly demolished, partly converted to new uses Current name: The Lighthouse Current use: Shops, offices, bar, exhibition space(2014) Listing category:

Textile design is a creative field that fulfills a variety of purposes in our lives such as our clothing, carpets, drapes, towels, and historically wall coverings. The creations of patterned textiles are not only important for their use, but also for the role they play in the fashion industry. Textile designers have the ability to inspire collections, trends, and styles. The textile industry, while being a creative art form, is a very business savvy industry. Textile designers marry a creative vision of what a finished textile will look like with a deep understanding of the technical aspects of production and the properties of fibre, yarn, and dyes.

He designed furniture, wallpaper, fabrics and stained glass. He founded the Arts and Crafts Movement: Mainly only used in houses Started in England and moved to Europe New sense of architectural logic and aesthetic responsibility Red House, Kent, England: 1831-1915 - Philip Webb Red brick without stucco was a startling novelty Applied art throughout to the practical objects of common life Red House, Kent, England: 1831-1915 - Philip Webb Arts and Crafts Art and Crafts designers rejected Victorian over- embellishment. It was reaction against the industrialization of building and mass produced household items. The movement called for the return to the “craft” of building (the worker as craftsman.) (Many of Frank Lloyd Wright’s early houses were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement.) Rennie Mackintosh Mackintosh took his inspiration from Scottish traditional architecture, Art Nouveau and Japanese forms. His simple forms, his interior detailing, his furniture and his use of natural light make him a bridge between the arts and crafts movement and Modernism.

  • M056 Competition Design for Glasgow Art Galleries (Ionic)
    M056 Competition design for Glasgow Art Galleries (Ionic) Introduction John Honeyman & Keppie produced three competition designs for a new art gallery and museum building in Kelvingrove Park. One design was in a severe Ionic classical style; the second was French Renaissance-inspired, with four towers and a busy roofline; the third was also French Renaissance, with a large dome. It has previously been said that the Ionic and domed designs were submitted in the preliminary round of the competition, while the second design with the towers was produced for the final round. However, contemporary reports and the organising committee's minutes show that all three designs were submitted in the preliminary round. The Ionic and towered designs were among six short-listed, and they advanced unchanged to the final adjudication. Authorship: The classical design was probably John Honeyman's; it recalls his earlier, more modest, design for Paisley Free Library and Museum. Reports on the competition believed this design to be Honeyman's work, and in the publication Who's Who in Glasgow in 1909, one of the firm's two shortlisted designs was attributed to Honeyman. 1 The draughtsmanship and style of the sculptural details is thought suggestive of Mackintosh's work. 2 Status: Unbuilt Chronology 1891 February: The 1888 International Exhibition Association established the 'Association for the Promotion of Art and Music in the City of Glasgow', to be 'devoted to the erection of Art Galleries, a Museum, a Concert Hall and, if practicable, a School of Painting and Design'. 1 7 August: The buildings sub-committee of the Association reports on a fact-finding mission to London art galleries and museum.
