Description: "Towards the end of his life Charles Rennie Mackintosh moved to the south of France where he devoted himself to painting in watercolour. Meticulously executed and brilliantly coloured, these works are conceived with a sense of design and an eye for pattern in nature which owe much to his genius as an architect and designer. This book records Mackintosh's time in France and explores his career as a landscape painter, placing his paintings in the context of the modern movement. All the works Mackintosh is known to have completed in France are illustrated and are accompanied by photographs of the places he painted as well as extracts from his letters."--BOOK JACKET.
