The novel painting (ざんしんなめいが zanshin na meiga?) is a painting in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+. In Doubutsu no Mori+, it is only available through the Data Moving Service, and it does not appear in the catalog. It is based on Piet Mondrian's Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red, painted between 1937-1942, making it the newest work of art featured in the Animal Crossing series.

Like the dreadful painting, the novel painting's removal in subsequent games is likely due to legal reasons, as Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red was under the legal ownership of the Mondrian estate until 2015, when his works entered the public domain.[1][2]

Real-world information

Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red

Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red was one of many works in Dutch artist Piet Mondrian's portfolio which represented his pioneering of neoplasticism, a variant of the de stijl movement. Both emphasized extreme visual abstraction, stripping away traditional compositional techniques and focusing almost entirely on form through raw color; neoplasticism more specifically focused on visual balance through a heavy focus on right angles and primary colors. As such, Mondrian created numerous paintings in the vein of Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red, both with and without Composition titles of their own. Because of their highly distinctive composition, Mondrian's neoplastic paintings became icons of 20th century art and especially modern art.
