PIET MONDRIAN

Piet Mondrian, original name Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan, (born

March 7, 1872, Amersfoort, Netherlands—died February 1,
1944, New York, New York, U.S.), painter who was an important
leader in the development of modern abstract art and a major
exponent of the Dutch abstract art movement known as De Stijl (“The
Style”). In his mature paintings, Mondrian used the simplest
combinations of straight lines, right angles, primary colours, and
black, white, and gray. The resulting works possess an extreme
formal purity that embodies the artist’s spiritual belief in a
harmonious cosmos. There, Mondrian’s style entered its last phase.
Throughout the 1930s, Mondrian’s work had become increasingly
3
 severe. Inspired by his regained freedom, New York City’s pulsating
life, and the new rhythms of American music, after 1940 he broke
away first from the austere patterns of black lines, replacing them
with coloured bands. Then, in place of the continuous flow of these
bands, he substituted a series of small rectangles that coalesced into a
rhythmic flow of colourful vertical and horizontal lines. His late
masterpieces—New York City I and Broadway Boogie Woogie,
exhibited in 1943–44.
