The artwork titled “Décor de la salle à manger (House for an art lover, Glasgow)” was created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the design genre. This piece is part of the “House for an Art Lover” series situated in Glasgow.
The artwork features a stylized, elongated figure adorned with flowing, intricate lines that are characteristic of Mackintosh’s design approach. The figure is dressed in ornate attire, punctuated by soft pink floral motifs that add a touch of elegance and femininity to the composition. The background is a serene mix of blue and earthy tones, providing a sophisticated and calming backdrop. The intertwining lines and curves epitomize the sinuous, organic forms emblematic of the Art Nouveau movement. The harmonious blend of delicate colors and elaborate linear patterns captures the essence of early 20th-century modernist design, illustrating Mackintosh’s mastery in marrying form and function with an aesthetic that remains timeless.
