Piet
Mondriaan was a Dutch painter born 1872. His most popular
paintings include Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue
and Composition in White, Black and Red. He carried abstraction
to its furthest limits. Through radical simplification
of composition and color, he sought to expose the basic
principles that underlie all appearances.
Piet Mondriaan, the painter of architectonic grids who
seemed to reject nature, had early on steeped himself
in the study of landscapes and flowers. His haunting pictures
of farms, windmills and factories treat nature as a dynamic
interplay of forces. Influenced by Helena Blavatsky's
Theosophical movement, the fastidious Dutch artist of
strict Calvinist upbringing turned to mystical introspection,
producing symbolist images like Dying Sunflower (1908).
