Piet Mondrian (artist)

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist renowned for pioneering abstract art through his "De Stijl" movement. He simplified natural forms into geometric shapes using primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—and black and white. His compositions emphasize balance, harmony, and the relationship between lines and spaces, creating a sense of order and universality. Mondrian aimed to express universal truths through pure abstraction, moving away from representational art toward a visual language of basic elements. His work has influenced modern design, architecture, and art with its emphasis on simplicity and harmony.
