Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian (March 7, 1872 – February 1, 1944) was a Dutch painter and a key figure in the De Stijl movement, renowned for his geometric abstract art. Initially influenced by Impressionism and Cubism, he developed Neoplasticism, a style using straight lines, right angles, and primary colors (red, yellow, blue) plus non-colors (black, white, gray). His iconic works like Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue sought universal harmony through simplification. Mondrian's ideas profoundly impacted modern art, design, and architecture. He spent his final years in New York, creating vibrant pieces like Broadway Boogie Woogie, reflecting jazz rhythms. His legacy endures as a pioneer of abstraction, influencing fields from fashion to digital art.
