Theo van Doesburg's "Dunes and sea" (1912) is a landscape painting depicting a seascape with a beach in the foreground and rolling waves in the distance. The painting is characterized by its muted color palette, with shades of green and brown dominating the composition. The artist utilizes broad brushstrokes to capture the movement of the water and the rolling dunes. Van Doesburg was a prominent member of the De Stijl movement, which aimed to create art that reflected the principles of order, clarity, and abstraction. This painting can be seen as a testament to his artistic philosophy and his interest in simplifying natural forms. This painting can be found at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
