Slow Art Sunday - Mondrian

Today, Slow Art Sunday brings you a bright watercolour by Piet Mondrian. “The Amararyllis” is both the title and a beautiful flower associated with Christmas for its festive look, promise for the new year and a meaningful gift often given at this season.

Born in the Netherlands in 1872, Mondrian began his artistic journey as a landscape painter and later moved towards abstract art. He fled World War II for New York City in 1940 and lived the last four years of his life there. His work had a significant influence on the American art scene. Primary colours and geometric shapes were a signature of his style.

Take some time today to enjoy the simplicity of this painting. Are the contrasting, vibrant colours appealing to you? Do they make you smile? All the best in your final preparations before Christmas and perhaps an amaryllis is the perfect gift for someone on your list.
