-THE ISLAND LIFE-

“Apple Tree in Bloom”, 1912,

Piet Mondriaan (1872.3 ~ 1944.2),

Netherlands,

oil on canvas,

78.5cm*107.5cm,

The Hague Museum of Art, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

1. Piet Mondriaan is considered a

master of cold abstraction using only

points, lines, and planes. At first, his

works were mainly composed of

landscapes such as trees and rivers

drawn with inspiration from nature,

but over time, his works became

more diverse. It became more

abstract. This work was created on

his path to abstract painting.

2. This painting is a painting of an

apple tree again in the spring of 1912

by an artist who had painted apple

trees several times before. The

influence of Cubism became

stronger, and the screen was divided

into smaller pieces and became more

abstract.

-> The tree branches have changed

into black lines of almost the same

thickness as part of a parabola, and

the lines toward the center and the

ocher color only hint at the original

tree shape. Without the title, it

would be difficult to imagine an

apple tree.

3. Afterwards, Mondrian further

simplified lines and colors and

focused on abstract painting. He put

into practice the claim that “all lines

are organized into vertical and

horizontal lines and all colors

converge into the three primary

colors and black and white,” and

created “compositions of red, yellow,

and blue.” It creates masterpieces

like “Broadway Boogie Woogie.”

4. When Mondrian worked as a painter,

photography had already become

popular, so he had no choice but to

hand over the “ability to express

things as they are” to the camera.

Because of this, painters had to go

beyond expressing things as they are

and draw something on the canvas,

and due to this need, ‘abstractionism’

became a major trend in art.
