Moscow Kremlin Museum’s exhibition Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Manifest of the New Style wins the 2015 Youniversal Award

In learning that the Moscow Kremlin Museum’s exhibition Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Manifest of the New Style wins the Youniversal award, Dr. Olga Dmitrieva, the Museum’s Deputy General Director of Education, and Professor, Faculty of History, Moscow State University says, “Arranging this exhibition we wanted to pay a tribute to the outstanding architect, artist and designer. Unfortunately, it also became a reminder of how fragile the works of art could be, even in the present day world. Once Mackintosh had expressed his philosophical reflections on art, asserting: “Art is a flower, life is a green leaf”. Both are vulnerable. But I do hope that with this project we made our humble contribution to the eternal triumph of life and art over death and destruction.”
