Early Mondrian: Painting 19001905

English

This publication spotlights the celebrated modern artist Piet Mondrians early career, a prolific period that saw the artist focus on figurative landscape painting.

Primarily made during the artists time in Amsterdam at the turn of the twentieth century, Mondrian's dense, small-scale paintings depict the surrounding Dutch landscape notably irrigation ditches, canals and farm buildings. The compositions are characterised by complex interactions of light and dark planes, which the artist forms through thick, pigmented strokes of green and brown paint.

Marking the last decade of the artists engagement with figurative painting, Mondrian's exploration of the interrelationships between colour and space during this period forms the basis for his subsequent abstract works, whilst reflecting the artists lifelong interest in nature.
