historia 112

This painting shows the artist's luminist period where he painted realistically but with brighter than actual colors and simplifying contours. This painting is a cross-over to his more rectangular and analytical style. Mondrian painted this painting in the Zeeland coastal resort of Domburg, at that time a popular artist's colony in the summer months. His trees illustrate his shift towards abstract cubism:.

• 
  Willow Grove: Impression of Light and Shadow, 1905
• 
  Gray Tree, 1911
• 
  Blossoming Apple Tree, 1912

During his first stay in Domburg, Mondrian reportedly made sketches of an apple tree in the garden of the Villa Loverendale, the home of Marie Tak van Poortvliet and her friend, the painter Jacoba van Heemskerck. The painting was completed during a subsequent visit to Domburg.[2]

Exhibitions

It was exhibited twice during Mondrian's lifetime; the first time at the exhibition Schilderijen en teekeningen door C. Spoor, Piet Mondriaan en Jan Sluyters in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam in 1909. In 1910 it was shown at the 20th annual exhibition of members of nl:Kunstenaarsvereniging Sint Lucas in Amsterdam. It was sold for 500 guilders to Marie Tak van Poortvliet.[2]

[it] Albero rosso

Avond; De rode boom (Sera; l'albero rosso) è un quadro dipinto nel 1908/1909 da Piet Mondrian. È una rappresentazione artistica di un albero (un melo) in cui l'artista non si preoccupa del tronco o dei rami, bensì della loro forma e dei loro rapporti. Un segno deciso e di vario spessore evidenzia la struttura e cerca di impregnare nella composizione i rapporti che scaturiscono dai rami. I colori, prevalentemente rosso e blu, favoriscono tale semplificazione.
