The artwork, titled “Landscape,” was created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1927. It falls under the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized as a landscape genre.
The artwork presents a composition of angular and flowing forms evocative of natural geological features, likely representing rock formations or mountains. The use of earthy tones—predominantly browns, beiges, and whites—alongside geometrically abstracted shapes, highlights the interplay between natural and constructed elements. A linear, almost architectural quality can be discerned, which is indicative of Mackintosh’s background as an architect and designer. The simple color palette is complemented by sparse, deliberate use of darker lines and planes, providing depth and structure to the scene. The upper section of the artwork introduces a hint of blue sky, contrasting the otherwise monochromatic foreground. The piece reflects Mackintosh’s signature blend of Art Nouveau’s organic motifs with a modernist precision and abstraction.
