Evening; Red Tree (Avond; De rode boom) is an oil on canvas painting created by Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian in 1908. This painting is commonly referred to as The Red Tree. This piece of artwork displays an expressive drawing of an apple tree with branches that spread wide across the page. The Red Tree is the first painting in Mondrian’s Trees series, which took place over an important period of evolution in Mondrian’s artwork as he transitioned to neoplasticism. This painting displays nonnaturalistic colors and simplified tones of red and blue. The Red Tree stretches 27” by 39” and can be found on display at the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague.
