The artwork, titled “Le dessin de Mackintosh de la ‘House for an art lover’,” was crafted by the renowned artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of design. It is part of the series “House for an art lover, Glasgow.”
In the artwork, Mackintosh presents an architectural drawing of a substantial and distinctive building. The design showcases a three-story structure characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and minimalistic detailing. The facade is adorned with a series of evenly spaced, narrow windows, and slender, vertical elements, which likely represent tall decorative plants or cypress trees lining the base of the structure. The building’s simple yet elegant design reflects the principles of the Art Nouveau movement, emphasizing harmony between natural forms and architectural innovation. Mackintosh’s use of line work and spatial arrangement underscores his mastery in blending aesthetic appeal with functional design, creating an enduring representation of early 20th-century architectural thought.
