Place in the artist's career
Positioning this Composition Arbres II as one of the key milestones of his career, Mondrian illustrates his evolution towards geometric abstraction. Alongside his other paintings , such as “Broadway Boogie Woogie” and “The Large Trees,” one perceives a growing mastery of lines and colors.
Anecdote
“Nature is filled with lines and colors; I strive to capture them in my compositions.” On this radiant spring morning, he leaned over his palette, capturing the green light of the trees in spring. This original emotion permeates the evocative power of Composition Arbres II .
