1898
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1898 ink by Piet Mondrian, a Impressionism work, depicting Grote Kerk, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This etching shows a small, plain church with a tall steeple, trees on either side, and a few people walking nearby. The lines are simple and a little shaky, like a quick sketch. It’s one of Mondrian’s earliest works—he was only 26. You can see he’s still figuring out his style. The church was in his hometown, where his father was a preacher. It feels quiet, almost like a memory. If you like how this looks, try searching for the technique called etching.
