About the artwork
This piece shows the influence of Cubism on Piet Mondrian’s compositions. Inspired by a blossoming apple tree, its muted colour palette echoes the browns and greys of the works of Cubist artists around the same time, such as Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. The piece marks a new step in his progression towards total abstraction – the black lines of the piece are still lightly suggestive of branches, and the title alerts us to Mondrian’s inspiration for the piece, but it is less recognizably tree-like than his earlier pieces. The increasingly geometric marks are the recognisable predecessors of his later compositions.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Piet Mondrian (1872 – 1944) was a Dutch pioneer of abstract art and a founder of the De Stijl movement. During his lifetime he was celebrated for the purity of his abstract paintings and the methodical practice used to create them. Mondrian produced his most famous works from the 1920s, in his own style called Neo-Plasticism where he restricted his painting to a three colour palette and black grid system for which he is most famous. As well as being crucial to the development of modern art, his iconic abstract works still influence modern design and popular culture today.
