Thomas Howarth, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Modern Movement (1952)
The first substantial biography of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Thomas Howarth (1914–2000) was an architect, planner, architectural historian and academic. His research on the career of Mackintosh was undertaken at a time when family members, clients, colleagues and contractors were still alive, providing a unique insight into Mackintosh's life and work. Howarth maintained a lifelong interest in Mackintosh, lecturing and contributing to exhibitions world-wide. As a result of his researches he built up one of the finest private collections of Mackintosh's work, the bulk of which he sold at auction in 1994. The most substantial showing of his collection was in 1978 at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto. In his final years he donated works of art to The Hunterian, University of Glasgow and to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. He also provided the funding which enabled the Society to purchase Queen's Cross Church in 1998.
