Stammer Mill with Streaked Sky (1905-1907)
Piet Mondrian
Dutch, 1872–1944
Oil on canvas
"Before Piet Mondrian became known for his orderly red, yellow, and blue geometric abstractions, he made more than 30 paintings of the windmills that dotted the Dutch countryside. With this painting, he began a shift away from earthy naturalism, and hints of his future work emerged.
The gridded windmill blades are in perfect vertical and horizontal alignment. Notice the swaths of yellow in the sky, the blue horizon line, and the red boat. This use of primary colors and geometric forms anticipates the colors and grids of his later compositions."

I always loved Pete Mondrian love for the abstract geometric patterns. Recently I came to know about his natural paintings too. Windmills always remind me of the Amsterdam and this does so much justice to this. I have reproduction Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie in my living room.

It’s interesting how he transformed gradually into abstract geometric patterns. Good choice for your living room. 🙂
