Overview
  • A masterful account of the life and work of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian (1872–1944), whose abstract compositions are landmarks of Modernist painting
  • Illustrates all of Mondrian's key works, from his early studies of landscapes and flowers to his experiments with pointillist colour and spare seascapes, to his discovery of Cubism and beyond
  • Examines the artist's working process and explores the tension between the brilliantly disciplined compositions and their underlying subject matter
  • More than a monograph, it's an essential study of the evolution of abstract art in the 20th century



In The Press
