Image for Mondrian

Mondrian

Mondrian was a Dutch artist known for his abstract paintings characterized by a grid of black lines and blocks of primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—as well as white and gray. His style, called Neoplasticism, aimed to express universal harmony through simplicity and balance. By reducing images to basic shapes and colors, Mondrian sought to reveal fundamental truth and order in art. His work emphasizes geometric precision and the interplay of positive and negative space, making him a key figure in modern abstract art and influencing design, architecture, and visual culture.
