Sun - Flower Painting by Piet Mondrian
"The Sun," painted by Piet Mondrian in 1910, is a vibrant and dynamic piece that diverges significantly from the artist's later, more famous abstract works characterized by geometric shapes and primary colours. This early painting belongs to Mondrian's Symbolist period, where his style was more expressive and less rigidly abstract.
The painting depicts two large, stylized flowers, their forms rendered in swirling, curvilinear lines. The use of colour is particularly striking; the predominant hues are vivid blues and purples, contrasted with bold accents of orange and yellow. These colours create a sense of energy and movement as if the flowers are pulsating with life.
The background of the painting consists of flowing, wave-like patterns in similar blues and purples, giving the impression of an almost aquatic environment. This fluid backdrop enhances the organic feel of the flowers, making them appear as if they are emerging from a sea of colour.
Mondrian's brushstrokes are visible and dynamic, adding texture and depth to the piece. The overall composition is harmonious yet lively, reflecting a period in Mondrian's career when he was exploring more expressive and symbolic themes.
"The Sun" is a fascinating glimpse into Mondrian's early artistic journey, showcasing his experimental use of colour and form before he transitioned to the neoplasticism style for which he is best known. This piece captures a moment of transformation and exploration, highlighting the artist's versatility and deep engagement with the natural world.
