River Landscape with mill 1931

Theo van Doesburg's "River Landscape with mill" is a 1931 watercolor painting featuring a windmill on the left edge of the canvas and a river in the foreground. The minimalist brushstrokes are reminiscent of the artist's work in the De Stijl movement. The soft, muted colors of the sky and water, along with the simplified shapes of the windmill and trees, convey a sense of tranquility and simplicity. This artwork is a powerful example of van Doesburg’s exploration of geometric abstraction and its application to landscape painting, a theme central to his artistic development.
