"Gray Tree" by Piet Mondrian (1911) is an oil painting on canvas that measures 78.5 × 107.5 cm, currently exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. The artwork depicts a landscape with a stylized tree rendered through geometric forms and subdued tones. Although influenced by Cubism, which Mondrian was exploring at this time, the piece emphasizes abstraction and structural composition. "Gray Tree" marks a significant step in Mondrian’s move towards pure abstraction, moving away from naturalistic representation.
