About Amaryllis

Piet Mondrian’s Amaryllis, painted in 1910 is a stunning work of art. The painting is done in watercolor and contained in a private collection, measuring 49.2 x 31.5 cm. The painting takes the viewer into a rich world filled with floral imagery that firmly positions Mondrian at the vanguard of modern art. The vibrant colors blend together to form an organic and balanced composition that captivates the eye and makes for an entrancing work of art.

Furthermore, Mondrian’s use of shapes to create this image is remarkable and highly impactful, with sharp lines and curves precisely depicting the beauty of the flower. His insistence on precise lines counters Abstractionism and gives equal weight to color and shape by simplifying volumes for one unique style. By combining color harmonies with precise geometrics, he creates an image that invites admiration from the onlooker – all illustrative of his place as an early modern artist.

In contrast, Amedeo Modigliani’s 1917 Reclining Nude From The Back (Nu Couche De Dos) reveals a more vivacious rendering compared to Piet Mondrian’s Amaryllis painting. This oil-on-canvas artwork uses colors such as whites and blues that flow throughout the piece while also rocking an avant-garde pose in oil texture – all these come together beautifully to ensure that your gaze remains solely fixed on Modigliani’s creation! Reclining Nude From The Back (Nu Couche De Dos) offers a unique artistic exploration of modernist styles to captivate your audience’s attention!
