The Winkel Mill | Piet Mondrian Postcard

The Winkel Mill (1908) is an early work by Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), before his shift to the geometric abstraction for which he is best known. This painting captures a pointillist-inspired landscape, depicting the iconic windmill in the countryside near Amsterdam. Mondrian’s characteristic use of small, distinct brushstrokes and vibrant colours creates an abstract yet recognisable scene, blending natural forms with early modernist techniques. The work exemplifies his transition period, bridging the gap between traditional representation and the abstraction that would later define his artistic style.
