“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.
