Meandering Landscape with River 1907

"Meandering Landscape with River" is a watercolor painting by Piet Mondrian, created in 1907. This work, currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, depicts a serene landscape with a river meandering through a verdant field. The sky, dominated by large, gray clouds, adds a sense of drama and depth to the composition. Mondrian's early landscapes, like this one, show his exploration of natural forms and his evolving style, leading to his groundbreaking abstract works. The work showcases Mondrian's interest in simplified forms and the interplay of light and shadow, hinting at the minimalist aesthetic he would later develop.
