About Sea Pink

The artwork “Sea Pink” by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, created in 1901, belongs to the Art Nouveau movement and is a flower painting genre.

This delicate artwork features a series of sea pink flowers, also known as thrift, with blooms rendered in soft hues of pink and purple. The floral arrangement displays a meticulous attention to detail, typical of Mackintosh’s style, with the flowers and buds at varying stages of blooming. The stems and leaves, depicted with clean lines and subtle shades of green and blue, support the blossoms and provide a sense of natural grace. Some parts of the flowers are only sketched, suggesting a work in progress. The use of both line drawing and watercolor gives a delicate and elegant feel to the artwork, harmonious with the Art Nouveau ethos. In the bottom right corner, the artist has inscribed the title, location, and date, providing a historical context to this serene botanical study.
