Synopsis
Piet Mondrian is recognized as the purest and most methodical of the
early abstractionists. He radically simplified the elements
of his artwork in an effort to reflect what he believed to be the order
underlying the visible world. In his ground breaking
paintings of the 1920s, Mondrian strictly limited his color palette to
black, white, and the three primary colors: red, yellow,
and blue. Mondrian's use of
asymmetrical balance and a simplified pictorial vocabulary were crucial
in the development of modern art. His iconic abstract
works remain influential in design and familiar in popular culture.
