This is a painting called ‘Gray Tree’.

Mondrian’s art. He first liked painting trees.‘Apple Tree’ ‘Red Trees’

‘Blue Tree’’

‘Red Tree’’

Then he started to paint like this using lots of straight lines to make rectangles and

squares.

He liked to paint with blue, red, yellow and sometimes black.

He then started to paint his ‘lozenge’ shaped painting.

He liked to listen to music called ‘swing’ when he painted.

He also lived and worked in London and New York in America.
