Lily
charcoal on paper 25.9 x 19.0 cm, signed l.r. 'P. Mondrian' and executed 1912 or after 1921

This work on paper was previously for sale.

Provenance: part. bezit Limburg; in de jaren 60/70 gekocht door dhr. J. Katers; daarna door vererving in bezit gekomen van de vorige eigenaar mw. J. van de Stroet-Katers.
Literature: vgl.: Joop M. Joosten, 'Piet Mondrian. Catalogue Raisonné of the Work of 1911-1944', Leiden/Toronto 1998, pag. 495, cat.nr. C119 (Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, daarna Sidney Janis Family Collections, New York). Deze aquarel werd op 25 april 1966 geveild bij Mak van Waay; de aquarel en de houtskool zijn vrijwel identieke composities; waarbij het voor de hand ligt dat de aquarel de tweede versie betreft.
Exhibited: Winterswijk, Museum Villa Mondriaan, 'Figuratie in stijl', 3 maart-24 sept. 2017.

Before Mondrian made the abstract compositions with which he became famous, he drew and painted landscapes, figures, flowers and still-lifes in a naturalist style. Between 1895 and 1908, he gradually detached himself from exact pictorial representation and experimented with colour, composition and a simplifying of forms. This ultimately led to depicting nature in abstract vertical and horizontal lines and planes in primary colours.
