This stunning Duille fine art print features “The White Rose and the Red Rose” the 1902 panel by Margaret Macdonald.
A version of this work was produced for ‘The Rose Boudoir’ exhibition setting shown in Turin jointly by Margaret and her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh and we also offer a print of this version. Margaret made a second version of the panel ( from which this print is taken ) and it is now displayed within the reconstructed interior of their home, ‘The Mackintosh House’, in Glasgow which can be visited.
About the work
Margaret Macdonald became highly skilled in the gesso techniques used to produce The White Rose and the Red Rose. She used a distinctive piping technique, along with paint, inset glass beads and pieces of shell. This work is one of her best gesso pieces and whilst its meaning and symbolism are subjects of speculation, the depiction of briar roses and the gaze from a central figure of great beauty evoke sensual love in a powerful way. It’s a work that can’t fail to engage you.
Margaret Macdonald – a pioneering artist and businesswoman.
Margaret Macdonald was born in Tipton, England in 1864. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art with her sister Frances where they met Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Herbert McNair. In the mid 1890s the Macdonald Sisters opened a studio in Hope Street, Glasgow working together for around 10 years. They produced metalwork, graphics, and book illustrations. She later collaborated with Mackintosh whom she married in 1900.
