Jar of chrysanthemums 

"Jar of Chrysanthemums" is a small-scale work by Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg, a prominent figure in the De Stijl art movement. The painting depicts a simple still life, a vase of chrysanthemums, executed in a loose and expressive style, using washes of black and white paint against a warm brown background. This abstract and stylized approach to the subject exemplifies van Doesburg's commitment to geometric forms and non-representational elements. Created in the early 20th century, "Jar of Chrysanthemums" reflects the artistic principles of De Stijl, seeking to express pure form and harmony through the use of primary colors, geometric shapes, and an emphasis on simplicity.
