House for an Art Lover

Open edition with printed signature.

This vibrant print captures the elegance and charm of the House for an Art Lover, a masterpiece of architectural design and artistry located in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. Designed by the renowned Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901, the house was originally conceived as an entry for a German magazine’s design competition. Though it was not built during his lifetime, Mackintosh’s vision came to life decades later, completed in 1996 based on his original plans.

The building reflects Mackintosh’s signature style, blending Art Nouveau with a touch of Scottish tradition. From its harmonious proportions to the intricate details in the windows and decorative panels, the design epitomises his philosophy of creating spaces that combine beauty and functionality. The surrounding gardens enhance the house’s tranquil atmosphere, providing a perfect setting for relaxation and inspiration.

Today, the House for an Art Lover serves as a cultural hub, hosting exhibitions, events, and workshops. This print celebrates Mackintosh’s genius and the enduring allure of this architectural treasure, making it a wonderful addition for admirers of his work and Scottish heritage.
