Woods near Oele

'Woods near Oele' (1908) by Piet Mondrian exemplifies his early exploration of Post-impressionism within a landscape setting. Painted in oil on canvas, the work reflects Mondrian's intensifying focus on expressive brushwork and striking color contrasts, capturing the natural scenery near Oele. This piece showcases his gradual shift toward abstraction, emphasizing emotional depth over realistic detail. The dynamic composition and vivid palette reveal the artist’s evolving style as he moved away from traditional representation towards a more personal, expressive approach.
