A tour of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh House that was never built........that is until recently. Lots of splendid Arts and Crafts interiors, with plenty of beautiful furniture, blacksmithing and stained glass. It really is a House for and Art Lover - I hope you enjoy the tour. Regards Harry

Creative genius. A stunning house!

@Kaytecando Год назад

Sadly, Mackintosh was the architect on only two homes. He and his wife really had a tough time of it. World War I ruined a lot of their best laid plans. Later in life he became seriously ill and died relatively young. I don't feel he nor his wife received the credit they deserved for their contributions to the Arts & Crafts Movement. Also, most people are unaware of his contribution and involvement with Gustav Klimt and the progressive art movement in Vienna. All this notwithstanding, his understanding of the elements of design and his applications utilizing spaces and light left a huge mark on the cultural aesthetics of the era and moving forward. Thank you for the upload.

Thank you for that! Mackintosh was an incredible designer.

How beautiful! thank you very much. Having just returned from Glasgow visiting museums and of course The Willow Tea Rooms. I just can't get Margaret and Charles Rennie MacIntosh and their work out of my mind.

Thank you so much for sharing your visit to this house!

Great to see there was support and effort to build something that wasn’t built at the time. He would have been so delighted especially since he was ultimately rather unsure about his success.

Thank you for this video. I am studying Art Nouveau in Glasgow but from France ! Thanks to you, I can visit this house for an art lover. Love your accent !

+Betty PAROIS Thats great - I have also posted films on the Scotland Street School and making a Glasgow chair. All the best Harry

+Betty PAROIS Betty il est possible de visiter The House for an Art Lover, vous devez savoir que c'est une construction des annees 1990 dont j'ai fait partie pour la decoration au pochoir. Si vous etes interesse il existe le "reseau Art Nouveau" sur internet qui donne pas mal d'information en Francais sur la periode Art Nouveau, il est en contact avec la Glasgow School of Art et il y aura un symposium aux environs du 20 avril a Glasgow sur la conservation Art Nouveau des interieurs de Glasgow. Sur le pochoir Art Nouveau vous trouverez des articles sur mon blog www.thelansdownehouseofstencils.com

Elisabeth Culshaw Merci ! Malheureusement je n'ai ni le temps ni l'argent pour me rendre à Glasgow cette année. En revanche je vais suivre cette actualité de très près ! Votre blog est passionnant !

What an informative video, thank you. If I ever visited Britain, and Europe for that matter the House for an Art Lover would absolutely be on my to do list of places to visit. I love anything to do with the Arts & Crafts Movement, Art Nouveau and to a lesser extent Art Deco as well. Along with the plethora of prehistory museums from the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic onward which I'm kind of obsessed with...

Thanks, Glasgow certainly had some lovely museums.

i can't thank you enough for showing this house, it really really helps me visually XD

Graham Roxburgh who owned Craigie Hall across the road made this all happen, I had a tour in 1992 when it was being fitted out. First-class building.

Its nice to see your lovely wife. She has very pretty smile. From Tennessee.

@leesiewmeng 6 лет назад

Thank you for capturing Mackintosh’s beautiful design for this house! It captures his eclectic and signature art nouveau style likened to some of the designs for the Glasgow School of Art. I love this!

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Siew Meng Lee Thanks I also posted a film on Scotland Street School by Mackintosh that may be of interest...unfortunately the Glasgow School of Art did not allow me to film...and it's now sadly burnt down for a second time.

@leesiewmeng 6 лет назад

Harry Rogers Yes! My daughter is studying there and she messaged me the night the fire gutted the building! We are really sad for this great loss!

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Siew Meng Lee Sorry to hear that.

@deezynar 11 лет назад

I'll never be able to visit there, so I appreciate you filming and posting this. The Arts & Crafts leaders were a huge influence on the modern movement that came later. It's a shame that so many of the modern movement architects stripped everything down to the bone. Architects today mostly understand that elements that were cast aside as useless ornament actually concealed the joints between adjacent surfaces. Once you accept the need for those elements, it's just sensible to adorn them.

@kirsteneasdale5707 Год назад

It’s not Arts and Crafts. It is Art Nouveux

@deezynar Год назад

@@kirsteneasdale5707 There is no doubt that he dabbled in both styles. His wallpapers, art glass, and much of his ornamental ironwork were mostly in the Art Neuveux style. His furniture weaved back and forth between the two styles. His architecture hewed more closely to the Arts and Crafts side, but I think it's mostly because the cost to make curves in buildings is far higher than straight lines. With the Glasgow School, he had a client who seemed more willing to pay the higher costs for more Art Neuveux curves. Anyway, I put him into the Arts and Crafts pigeonhole because that style hung around longer and was more broadly distributed. But your point is valid, he certainly did create many things in the Art Neuveux style.

@harryrogers 11 лет назад

Thanks Ron - Glasgow is certainly a good place to visit as most of the museums are free - and there is some really good stuff to see.

@RACHELTAYLOR7 10 лет назад

I went to the Mackintosh House at the Hunterian in Glasgow but they wouldn't allow picture which was a shame.It was really beautiful and an amazing reconstruction of his demolished home.

@harryrogers 10 лет назад

Hi - I didn't get there but sounds good - the Glasgow School of Art did not allow me to film, and of course sadly it has since burnt down......if they had let me film at least there would be more visual record to help the restorers, though I expect it was all recorded anyway!

@harryrogers 11 лет назад

Yes - its well worth visiting - I also liked the Glasgow School of Art, but they did not allow filming which was a shame..........I could have kept students and their work out of the frame. Kelvingrove was excellent, as was Scotland Street and I have films on those coming. Harry

@harryrogers 11 лет назад

Yes thanks - I am very lucky.

@harryrogers 11 лет назад

Hi deezynar - yours is the voice of an expert, and makes very good sense to me! I will be popping something up on Scotland Street School, and you might like that - I was certainly struck by its physical presence and style.

@harryrogers 11 лет назад

Liam - a pleasure as always.

@Mayerling52 9 лет назад

Regarding the dining room @1:43 and so: the actual dining room cabinets and furniture seem very much darker and starker than the ones in the drawing, which seem far cozier. Is this due simply to lighting, preference of the builders, notes by Mackintosh, or what, if you remember, please? I appreciate your noticing and showing us so many distinctive details, the way I'd observe if I were there. This was a real treat. Thank you. :)

@harryrogers 2 года назад

Hi I am sorry but I do not specifically remember, but the whole house had good daylight streaming through.

@LynxSouth 2 года назад

@@harryrogers Thank you for replying. You are a wonderful tour guide, makes me think they should all be artisans themselves so they're more aware of aesthetic aspects.

@LynxSouth 2 года назад

I just checked on birthdates of Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright to see whether one might have influenced the other, and ! Wright was born 8 June 1867, and Mackintosh was born 7 June 1868. Kindred souls, or something.

@GerritKlaassen 11 лет назад

Beautiful isn't it! Been there, visited all sites related to Mackintosh, liked the Glasgow School of Arts and mostly the streetlights that are all around there! But....people shouldn't only watch this on RU-vid... take a week of and visit Glasgow...you might even buy a Mackintosh Souvenir.... a necklace or earrings or...

@DRUM19 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video. What a truly wonderful house. The music room inparticular really absorbed my attention and imagination. A Really beautiful house. Was McIntosh influenced by the Oriental world?

Windyhill is a private house. It’s not a museum

How much did it cost to build. Excluding the land.?

@raymondali1393 6 лет назад

What about the kitchen and bathroom(s)? A wasted opportunity. Tadgers!

@faithlesshound5621 2 года назад

The house of an art hater? We saw no pictures, tapestries or sculpture, other than what was built into the decor. 120 years ago, wouldn't a rich man's house have had framed paintings and drawings on every available vertical surface?
