<div>"House in the Countryside," a rare early oil on canvas by Piet Mondrian circa 1898, offers a window into the artist’s pre-abstraction period, likely executed "en plein air." This intimate painting, one of approximately 47 works from this phase across various media, showcases Mondrian’s early dedication to capturing the essence of place. The composition features a modest house set within the landscape, rendered with soft, earthy tones and a delicate interplay of light and shadow, reflecting his youthful passion for naturalistic depiction. Unlike his later abstract works, which began after he turned 40 following the 1911 Picasso exhibition that inspired his Cubist turn, these early pieces reveal a confident realism that laid the groundwork for his iconic style. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>The works from this period, prior to Mondrian’s shift toward coastal scenes, boats, and floral subjects, highlight his penchant for landscape, a theme that subtly persisted in his later abstractions, particularly those inspired by the grid-like layout of New York City, such as "Broadway Boogie Woogie" (1942-43) and “New York City I” (1942). With early landscapes offering a more accessible price point yet holding immense academic importance, they attract museums and savvy, thoughtful collectors. Comparable works reside in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and The Art Institute of Chicago.  This piece stands as a rare testament to Mondrian’s evolving genius and the foundational role of landscape in his oeuvre.

"Casa en el campo", un raro óleo sobre lienzo de Piet Mondrian de hacia 1898, ofrece una ventana al periodo preabstracción del artista, probablemente ejecutado "en plein air". Esta pintura intimista, una de las aproximadamente 47 obras de esta fase en diversos soportes, muestra la temprana dedicación de Mondrian a captar la esencia del lugar. La composición muestra una modesta casa situada en el paisaje, con tonos suaves y terrosos y un delicado juego de luces y sombras, reflejo de su pasión juvenil por la representación naturalista. A diferencia de sus obras abstractas posteriores, que comenzaron después de cumplir 40 años tras la exposición de Picasso de 1911 que inspiró su giro cubista, estas primeras piezas revelan un realismo seguro que sentó las bases de su estilo icónico.





Las obras de este periodo, anteriores al giro de Mondrian hacia las escenas costeras, los barcos y los temas florales, ponen de relieve su inclinación por el paisaje, un tema que persistió sutilmente en sus abstracciones posteriores, en particular las inspiradas en el trazado cuadriculado de la ciudad de Nueva York, como "Broadway Boogie Woogie" (1942-43) y "New York City I" (1942). Los primeros paisajes ofrecen un precio más asequible, pero tienen una inmensa importancia académica, por lo que atraen a museos y a coleccionistas inteligentes y reflexivos. Hay obras comparables en el Museo Metropolitano de Arte, el Museo de Arte de Cleveland y el Instituto de Arte de Chicago. Esta obra es un raro testimonio de la evolución del genio de Mondrian y del papel fundamental del paisaje en su obra. Su propietario más reciente es Nicholas Fox Weber, distinguido historiador del arte, académico y presidente de la Fundación Josef Albers.
