Piet Mondrian

Über den Autor

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter best known for his role in the development of abstract art and his founding contributions to the De Stijl movement. His work is characterized by a rigorous use of geometric forms and a limited palette of primary colors, black, and white. Mondrian believed that art should reflect the underlying spiritual order of the universe, and he sought to express this through simple and universal artistic language.

Over the course of his career, Mondrian evolved from traditional representational art to pure abstraction. His early works featured landscapes and natural subjects, but as he grew more influenced by the ideas of Cubism and Theosophy, he began to strip away the representational elements to focus on the essence of form and color. His iconic grid compositions, which convey a sense of harmony and balance, have had a lasting impact on modern art and design.
