Squares, straight lines... and dance moves! Explore the abstract art of Piet Mondrian.
Piet MONDRIAN (1872 – 1944) is a Dutch painter who has carved a unique niche for himself on the global platform matching the likes of other celebrity painters. He is possibly best known for being one of the founders of the De Stijl, which incorporated an art movement that worked around abstract works, and the new art forms that were being introduced to the world in the early 20th century. Katherine Dreier, the co-founder of New York City's Society of Independent Artists, stated that "Holland has produced three great painters who, though a logical expression of their own country, rose above it through the vigor of their personality - the first was Rembrandt, the second was Van Gogh, and the third is Mondrian." His ideas and work influenced lots of later artists. In fact, it wasn't just art that Mondrian inspired. The influence of his paintings can be seen in lots of other things – from furniture to fashion!
