Heart of Rose Statue

About the artwork "The Rose Boudoir": Together with his wife Margaret, Rennie Mackintosh designed this beautiful panel for The Rose Boudoir, a fully decorated room designed especially for the international exhibition of modern decorative art in Turin which took place in 1902. The sculpture is adapted from the original painting in three dimensions. It is a romantic testament to the power of love here emphasized through the organic rounded form and blooming rose. The two women share a gentle look as a rose forms between them. In the rose is a suggestion of a baby and the round shape alludes to a womb. About the artist, Rennie Mackintosh: This extremely versatile Scottish artist played a prominent role in the Arts and Crafts movement in Great Britain and his name became synonymous with the independent Northern European version of Art Nouveau. Mackintosh can be interpreted as a decorative orientated architect who drew his inspiration from symbolism and the art of fine Japanese drawing. During his relatively short working life he developed his very own linear-decorative style with a recognizable use of colors. It was these elements in particular that made his interior designs become world famous and unforgettable. Like no one else, he combined a strict architectural theory of shapes with a playful lyricism which goes back to the Pre-Raphaelites and Celtic ornamentation.
