Description
The painting "Triangulated farm facade with a blue polish", made in 1900 by Piet Mondrian, marks a turning point in the artist's evolution towards the artistic movement that would later define his work: neoplasticism. In this piece, Mondrian goes into the representation of a Dutch rural landscape, capturing the essence of traditional architecture through an exceptional composition approach and an incisive use of color.
The work presents a stylized representation of a triangular farm, a reason that derives from the architectural culture of the Netherlands. The structure stands on a bottom in blue predominance that evokes the tranquility of water, a polder that seems to reflect the sky. The deep blue used in the work not only establishes an atmosphere, but also enhances the contrast with the geometric shapes of the farm. This contrast between architecture and the surrounding landscape becomes a visual dialogue that invites the viewer to examine the relationship between man and nature.
The composition of painting is essential to understand Mondrian's approach in this period. The lines are organized in a pyramidal structure that gives stability and balance to the image. The triangularity of the farm suggests dynamism in its form, while the choice of a uniform color creates a visual link between the subject and its environment. This fusion of space built with the natural becomes a recurring theme in Mondrian's work, being a precursor to his subsequent experimentation with pure abstraction.
It is interesting to note that, despite the rural theme, the work is absent from the representation of human figures. This void can be interpreted as a reflection of the artist's ideology, who sought to find purity in shapes and colors. In this sense, Mondrian distances himself from the narrative elements that predominate in traditional art, which suggests a search for the universal in the walls of the farm and its surroundings.
Throughout his career, Mondrian dedicated himself to exploring geometry and color, and "triangulated farm facade with blue policy" represents an intermediate stage before his complete transformation towards neoplasticism. It is a testimony of its stylistic evolution, where the elements of the landscape have been synthesized in a more abstract structure, preparing the land for their subsequent works in which horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors would take absolute prominence.
Through this work, Mondrian not only portrays a rural landscape, but also raises questions about the interaction between agriculture and modernity, thus reflecting the transformation of Dutch society in its time. As a whole, "Triangulated farm facade with a blue polyder" is a work that, although rooted in representation, begins to blur the borders between concrete reality and abstract expression, preluding its contribution to the history of modern art.
