Mondrian

Piet Mondrian’s artistic development was remarkably diverse, evolving from early Impressionist landscapes through Cubism to the geometric abstraction for which he became famous. As a leading figure of the De Stijl movement, Mondrian sought to express harmony and universal order through carefully balanced compositions of straight lines, rectangles, and primary colours. This illustrated volume explores the different stages of his artistic career, presenting reproductions of his work alongside commentary on his changing styles and creative ideas. It offers readers an accessible introduction to the Dutch painter’s contribution to modern art and the development of abstract painting.
