The artwork, “White Tulips,” created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized within the flower painting genre.
In the artwork, an arrangement of white tulips is prominently displayed in a striking blue vase. The tulips extend upwards with elongated green stems that dominate the composition. Adjacent to the blue vase on the right is another container holding what appears to be a bouquet of pink peonies, situated on a checkered tablecloth that provides a geometric contrast to the natural forms of the flowers. Mackintosh’s distinct style is evidenced through the delicate and precise lines, coupled with subtle watercolor shading, which encapsulates the essence of the Art Nouveau movement by balancing organic and structured elements harmoniously.
