Evolution 1911

Piet Mondrian's *Evolution* (1911) depicts three figures in a triptych format. The central figure is rendered in shades of blue against a backdrop of orange and yellow, while the figures on the sides are set against a blue background. Mondrian's use of color and form in this piece foreshadows his later abstract work, although *Evolution* still retains a degree of figurative representation. The piece is currently housed at the Gemeentemuseum in the Hague, Netherlands.
