Charles Rennie Mackintosh completes Queen's Cross Church…
1899 CE
The Scottish architect and designer, who specializes in a predominantly geometric line, is a particular influence on the Austrian Sezessionstil.
Close links exist between Art Nouveau designers in Vienna and in Glasgow, where Mackintosh, in collaboration with three other students (one of whom, Margaret MacDonald, will become his wife in 1900), has achieved an international reputation as a designer of unorthodox posters, craftwork, and furniture.
