'LAVANDER, WALBERSWICK', 1915 pencil and watercolour, inscribed, dated and signed with initials LAVANDER/ WALBERSWICK/ 1915/ CRM/ MMM, later framedsheet size 28.8cm x 22.5cm (frame 46.3cm x 38.7cm)Provenance: Acquired by William Meldrum, after the Memorial Exhibition 1933and by descent to his son, James MeldrumGiven to The Glasgow Art Club by Eva Meldrum, widow of James Meldrum, 1984Note: During a ten-month period in 1914-1915, Charles Rennie Mackintosh created his celebrated series of botanical watercolour studies at Walberswick on the Suffolk coast. Believed to number around 30-40 in total, these works are loved for their meditative, skilful delicacy, and the way they encapsulate the extraordinary marriage of technical and creative vision that Mackintosh possessed. Few beyond Mackintosh are capable of perceiving, much less conveying, both the random beauty and extraordinary symmetry and inherent structural design of the natural world.By 1915 he had married Margaret Mackintosh, and her initials ’MMM’ begin to appear on his drawings, denoting, like a diary entry, that she was present with him when these sketches were created. ‘Lavander, Walberswick’, the most detailed of the sketches offered here for sale, beautifully illustrates his technical prowess and ever-elegant hand. Creating a sense of texture by highlighting just a few upper leaves with the most delicate of washes, our eye then focuses on the accomplished pencil mark tangle of unfurling leaves towards the base of the stem.One contemporary source, an article by author Desmond Chapman-Huston, suggests that Mackintosh produced this proliferation of flower studies for a book commissioned by a German publisher, the outbreak of war preventing its publication. It could also have been a deliberate move towards more commercial subject matter as Mackintosh had just quit his architectural practice in Glasgow. He left the recession-bound city under a cloud; his reputation tarnished by rumours of alcoholism. From what we can infer from this beautiful series of drawings, the tranquillity of the coastal village provided him with an opportunity to re-sharpen the clarity of his artistic vision, with many followers holding the Walberswick sketches among his finest work.This sketch, and the other works by Mackintosh in this sale, belonged to James Meldrum, having come from the collection of his father William Meldrum, Mackintosh’s friend and fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1880s. James Meldrum notably staged the 1933 Memorial Exhibition of Mackintosh’s work in the MacLellan Galleries on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, along with his friend William Davidson. After James’ death, his widow Eva gifted the vast body of the William Meldrum Collection to the Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The series of works offered here were gifted to the Glasgow Art Club in the 1980s and now appear on the open market for the first time.

Nonetheless, each brushstroke is considered and placed with intent above spontaneity.This sketch, and the other works by Mackintosh in this sale, belonged to James Meldrum, having come from the collection of his father William Meldrum, Mackintosh’s friend and fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1880s.

IVY SEED, WALBERSWICK pencil and watercolour, inscribed, signed and dated lower right IVY SEED/ WALBERSWICK/ 1915/ CRMMMM25.5cm x 18.2cmProvenance: Acquired after the Memorial Exhibition, 1933, by R. W. B. Morris, a partner in Charles Macdonald's legal firm and an executor of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh's estateThe Fine Art Society, LondonPrivate Collection (1977-present)Exhibited: The Fine Art Society, London, The Flower Drawings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, May/June 1977Literature: Billcliffe R. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Art of the Four, Quatro, 2017, pp.194-198 and 211-219 Billcliffe R. Mackintosh Watercolours Glasgow Art Gallery, London 1978, p. 38, no. 139Note: By 1914, Mackintosh’s professional fortunes were dwindling and life in Glasgow became unbearably oppressive. Following the completion of the Glasgow School of Art in 1909, Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh’s business received very little work, much like their competitors, as the city was grappling with a recession. Mackintosh resigned as partner of the firm in December 1913, supposedly with the intention of setting up his own company, yet sadly nothing came of this. Clearly requiring some rest and recuperation from this drastic turn of events, the Mackintoshes left Glasgow for a summer break to Walberswick in June 1914, but the uncertainty of the First World War and a rather unstable economic climate persuaded them to remain in the village for fifteen months.Like a number of coastal villages across the UK, Walberswick became a hub of artistic creativity in the summer months. Bright blue skies, endless coastal cliffs and colourful fields as far as the horizon brought the likes of Philip Wilson Steer, E. A. Walton and Mary Newbery Sturrock to this charming fishing and boatyard community. Mary Newbery was the daughter of Frances Newbery, Headmaster of the Glasgow School of Art at the time Mackintosh designed its new premises. The two men had formed a very close friendship during their time in Glasgow. Mary was convalescing in Walberswick while the Mackintoshes were staying in the village, close to her family’s villa there. Every day they would venture over to her studio and it is thought that Mackintosh was encouraged by the Newberys to turn to painting during this time, in his search for solace and seclusion.Over the next ten months or so, Mackintosh made over forty botanical watercolour studies using a variety of species: from wild plants such as willow catkins and kingcups to garden favourites fuchsias and petunia, as well as flowers from local fields and hedgerows such as sorrel and chicory. From 1901 Mackintosh had been sketching similar plants and flowers whilst on holiday within Britain, and further afield in Italy and Portugal. These earlier studies are more technical in composition; the background is almost completely abstract as alternating and overlapping perspectives of botanical cross-sections are illustrated. The focus of these sketches was analytical: investigating ways in which certain plant forms could be stylised to create abstract patterns on the page.At Walberswick, the studies are decorative depictions, delicately drawn in a naturalistic manner. It is likely that Mackintosh worked with pressed specimens, perhaps picked on his walks to Sturrock’s studio, giving him an already flattened section to work from. In Ivy Seed, the plant is positioned off-centre as the coloured leaves pointing towards the cartouche draw the eye into the complex structure of the branch itself. Mackintosh was clearly meticulous in his approach: connected stems and foliage are interwoven and overlaid in a beautiful display; there is a careful balance of tension, and delicacy in the delineation of the leaves. The vibrancy of colour, subtly deployed across the page, breathes life into the work and helps capture the decorative beauty of his peaceful new environment.The initials of Margaret Mackintosh appear frequently on many of these watercolours, and it was previously suggested that she contributed to the studies in some way. However, there is no stylistic evidence that correlates with Margaret’s own watercolour techniques. Mary Newbury Sturrock has stated that her initials merely indicate that she was there when the studies were made, thereby highlighting her constant presence in Charles’ life and art.Mackintosh’s time spent studying the coastline and nature in and around Walberswick subsequently led to his arrest in 1915 when he was mistaken for a German spy. After a thorough search of their home led to discoveries of their artistic endeavours in Germany and Austria, Charles and Margaret were forced to leave the area with immediate effect. They eventually settled in London, where his deeply personal connections with nature formed the basis for further watercolours and some innovative textile commissions.The spectacular series of Walberswick studies marks an interesting point in Mackintosh’s career. His intense personal and professional struggles prompted a search for solace in nature: these careful, naturalistic renderings of his surroundings are captivating in their simple beauty, evoking the serenity and contemplation he longed for.
