Piet Mondrian, 1872 - 1944, was a Dutch painter who was influenced by Picasso and Braque and became an important leader along with Theo van Doesburg in
the development of the modern Dutch abstract art movement known as De Stijl
(The Style).
In his quest for "pure plastic art" which he believed was necessary in order to create universal beauty, he limited his formal visual vocabulary to squares and rectangles in the primary colors (red, blue and yellow), punctuated by black lines on a white background in horizontal and vertical directions.
My three paintings in a very minimalist manner deconstruct Mondrian's visual codification to it's bare essence. The three compositions break down the three primary colors and black. In Paintings I & II, I eliminated the white background completely and in Painting III, I reversed the composition, giving the white background a more important element of the composition. Painted on a wood panel cradled in New Zealand Pine.
All three paintings can be purchased for $2000 to hang as a triptych.
Acrylic paint, matte medium, gesso, satin varnish
