Farm Sun 1904

"Farm Sun" is a watercolor painting by Piet Mondrian, created in 1904. This early work by Mondrian, before he became known for his abstract geometric compositions, shows his interest in the natural world. The painting depicts a simple farm scene, with a thatched roof barn as its central focus, rendered in muted tones of brown, blue, and green. The scene suggests the quiet and beauty of the Dutch countryside, a recurring theme in Mondrian's early work. While the painting is not abstract, it foreshadows Mondrian's later explorations of form and color, demonstrating his ability to simplify and distill natural forms.
