In the 1920s, Piet Mondrian found inspiration in the vibrant streets of avant-garde Paris, leading to the creation of his renowned abstract paintings. By using primary colors in rectangular shapes against a white backdrop, his work epitomized geometric abstraction. These groundbreaking compositions sparked a mix of feelings among the global audience, ultimately revolutionizing the art world.

Mondrian's life and art are highlighted together for the first time, revealing the journey of an elusive modern master. From his religious upbringing in the Netherlands, where he began with paintings of Dutch farmhouses and sand dunes, to his move to Paris and embrace of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, and Cézanne. Despite surviving two world wars and adapting to a rapidly changing culture, Mondrian remained true to his vision, challenging traditional art concepts and creating a world of vivid colors and rhythmic lines that would continue to influence painting, architecture, fashion, and design for years to come.

Gain insight into the life and art of Mondrian, a complex artist who valued solitude and eccentricity, expressed his philosophy through ballroom dancing, and saw art as a means to unveil universal truths.

Piet Mondrian

Über den Künstler

Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian (1872 — 1944) was a painter who was an important leader in the development of modern abstract art and a major exponent of the Dutch abstract art movement known as De Stijl (“The Style”). In his mature paintings, Mondrian used the simplest combinations of straight lines, right angles, primary colors, and black, white, and gray. The resulting works possess an extreme formal purity that embodies the artist’s spiritual belief in a harmonious cosmos.
