MACKINTOSH ROSES. Art Deco is an artistic movement that experienced its heyday at the beginning of the last century. Among the artists who stood out during this period, I have always been attracted to the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh: an artist and architect who worked along side his wife. The Mackintosh’s distinguished themselves by their own style, such as the famous motif known as the “Mackintosh rose”. - Louise
