Cabbages in an Orchard

Cabbages in an Orchard

From The Magazine, April 1894. The long text by Mackintosh which accompanies this watercolour in The Magazine (reproduced in full in Billcliffe's catalogue) suggests that he had already encountered public hostility to his work, possibly even from fellow students, on the grounds of incomprehensibility.

Sketchbook

Sketchbook

A sketchbook of notes and artworks by Mary Ramsay produced during her first year at The Glasgow School of Art, around 1914-1915. This item consists of portraits and life drawings, children's illustrations, lettering, costume designs, studies of ceramic samples, floral patterns, a list of reference books about art and design, and a Little Willie rhyme. Most artworks are in pencil, while some are in ink or paint on paper. Some illustrations have been pasted in from other sources. A number of loose ephemera items are also included in the sketchbook, including postage stamps and a newspaper advert for paint tubes.

The Tree of Personal Effort

The Tree of Personal Effort

From The Magazine, Spring 1896. Inscribed: The Tree of Personal Effort, The Sun of Indifference, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, January 1895.' The exact meaning of the symbolism of this work, and its companion, 'The Tree of Influence' has eluded all commentators on Mackintosh's early water-colours. The obvious source of the symbolism is nature, and Mackintosh here reaches his most extreme distortion of organic forms.' (Roger Billcliffe).
