Mondrian

Susanne Deicher - 2015 - Basic Art

Overview

Piet Mondrian was a significant figure in the international avant-garde, recognized as both a painter and an art theoretician. His work profoundly influences contemporary art and design. Mondrian believed that an object's particular appearance hindered the emotion of beauty, advocating for abstraction from figurative representation. He developed Neo-plasticism, a style characterized by primary colors (red, yellow, blue) set against a grid of black lines and a white background. Mondrian envisioned this essentialist painting as a path toward a society where art contributes to the total realization of beauty.
