About Study for Blue Apple Tree Series

The image you’ve provided is attributed as a study for the “Blue Apple Tree Series” by artist Piet Mondrian from 1908, created with oil on canvas. The painting, which is part of the Neo-Impressionist movement and measures 31.7 x 38 cm, depicts a landscape and belongs to a private collection.

The artwork presents a roughly painted landscape featuring a tree as the central figure. The brushwork is expressive and somewhat abstract, with thick, dark lines delineating the structure of the tree against a lighter background. Patches of blue, perhaps representative of foliage or the texture of the sky, intersperse with the warmer tones of the surroundings. The painting is indicative of Mondrian’s early exploration of color and form, prior to his evolution towards pure abstraction. The tree’s branches curve downward in a sweeping motion, creating a sense of movement and fluidity within the work. Overall, it embodies a dynamic interplay of natural forms and colors captured through the lens of Neo-Impressionistic art.
