Apples, Round Pot and Plate on a Table by Piet Mondrian
Apples, Round Pot and Plate on a Table by Piet Mondrian is an intriguing early work that showcases the artist's developing style before he became fully immersed in abstract and geometric compositions. Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter best known for his contributions to the De Stijl movement, explored a range of subjects early in his career, including still life. Painted in the early 20th century, this work likely features a carefully arranged composition of apples, a round pot, and a plate on a table. Mondrian’s attention to the arrangement of objects, use of light, and subtle color variations reflect his growing interest in structure and form, which would later become central to his abstract works. This painting captures a moment of transition in Mondrian's artistic journey, where he balances realism with an emerging sense of abstraction.
