More about this artwork
The painting "Drie Chrysanten," created by Piet Mondrian around 1899-1900, is a beautiful exemplar of his early work that precedes his well-known abstract compositions. Unlike his later geometric abstractions, this piece vividly depicts three chrysanthemum flowers in a strikingly naturalistic style.In this work, Mondrian demonstrates a robust handling of texture and color. The painting features three lush chrysanthemums, each rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes that give life to the vibrant petals. The flowers, ranging in hues from deep orange to bright yellow, seem to burst forth from a muted and roughly painted background, which is executed in earthy tones of brown, grey, and ochre."Drie Chrysanten" showcases Mondrian's skill in capturing the dynamic, organic essence of his subjects. The combination of the vivid colors and intense, almost tactile brushwork lends the piece a dramatic, almost three-dimensional appearance. This painting invites viewers to appreciate the natural beauty of the chrysanthemums, highlighting their impermanence and the fleeting moments of beauty found in nature.
