12–4. Charles Rennie Mackintosh, poster for the Scottish Musical Review

In this towering image that rises 2.5 meters above the spectator, complex overlapping planes are unified by areas of flat color. The white halo and birds around the figure create a strong focal point. The highly unorthodox design was not enthusiastically received in Glasgow art circles but was widely acclaimed in Germany and Austria.
