Authenticating a Mondrian painting

Image
 Last time, I showed that the arc technique was used in Cézanne, Seurat, and Beardsley's nude forms. Mondrian, who did not paint nude forms, found the same technique in abstracting the curves of a tree.   I googled "mondrian tree" and found this image mixed with many Mondrian imitations. There is no explanation for this image, and it is a work that I have never seen in any art books. The painting is so well-balanced and harmonious that I am convinced that it is Mondrian's work. I can certify this authentic by making models      arc model Six circles are enough to make the model, which create harmonious effect. Extending the arcs, make arc-circle model.      arc-circle model The largest blue circles make the basic structure. It turned out that Mondrian used the same arc-circle technique, alongside Picasso,   Matisse, Klee, Leger, Modigliani, etc.

  I noticed that Cézanne, Seurat and Beardsley used the same arc-circle technique    in the second half of the twentieth century .   Here are the examples. Cezanne “The Bather “in MOMA 1885 Seurat “Study for the Models” 1886 Beadsley “Bathyllus taking the pose” 1896 、 I still don't know how they affected each other. It may be self-evident if you look closely at classical paintings, as myself did. Visual grammar is an a priori ability, and the end result is the same. This ability is at the foundation of formalism.        Cezanne “The Bather “in MOMA 1885      Seurat “Study for the Models” 1886      Beadsley “Bathyllus taking the pose” 1896 、
