EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pointillist study, titled "Pointillist study of a dune with a ridge on the right," was created by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian in 1909. A pioneer of the De Stijl art movement, Mondrian is renowned for his abstract compositions characterized by bold lines, primary colors, and geometric shapes. However, in this early work, we see the artist's exploration of the Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist styles, specifically Pointillism. The painting depicts a landscape of a dune with a distinct ridge on the right, a common feature of the Dutch coastal terrain. Mondrian masterfully renders the shifting sands and the play of light on the dune using small, distinct dots of color. The artist's application of oil paint in this manner creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the painting. Pointillism, a technique popularized by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, involves the application of small, distinct dots of color that, when viewed from a distance, blend together to create an impression of the subject. In this work, Mondrian expertly employs this technique to capture the essence of the dune landscape. This Pointillist study by Mondrian is a testament to the artist's skillful exploration of various artistic styles and techniques. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, showcasing the artist's early experimentation and his eventual development into a leading figure of the abstract art world.
