Although Piet Mondrian is best known for his non-figurative paintings (which you can check out in our archives), his fundamental vision is rooted in landscape painting. He was especially inspired by the flat terrain of his native Holland, and he returned to this theme even after he participated in an exhibition of Cubist paintings by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in 1911 and began to work in an abstract style. Mondrian first depicted the farm around 1905. However, nine of his twenty known farm-related paintings and drawings were made during the First World War. The reason Mondrian would return to this theme may be that his wartime patrons generally preferred his earlier naturalistic works to his more recent experimental cubism.
