Piet Mondrian, 1930, Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow
Today in New York City in 1944 Piet Mondrian died.
Pieter Cornelis “Piet” Mondrian was a Dutch painter.
“He was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed neoplasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors.”
You can learn more about him by clicking here and reading about him on Wikipedia. Once I saw a private small airplane painted like the red, blue and yellow neoplasticism style. I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough to get a photo of it. I still think of it every time I see one of Mondrian’s paintings.
