Chrysanthemum 1906 - 1942

"Chrysanthemum," created between 1906 and 1942 by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, depicts a single, stylized chrysanthemum blossom. The flower is rendered in a light, almost transparent yellow with hints of blue, against a warm orange background. The artist's signature, "P. Mondrian," can be seen in the bottom left corner. Mondrian's early work, which often featured floral subjects, would eventually lead him to the abstract style he is best known for.
