Summary: After encountering Cubism in 1911, the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) dedicated himself to eliminating all nonessential elements from his work. His ultimate goal was "the expression of pure reality". By 1918 his subject matter consisted of nothing but vertical and horizontal rectangles and lines, his palette limited to black, white, and gray and the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. Working with this limited range, Mondrian created some of the most grandly austere, and at the same time exhilarating, paintings of the 20th century.Summary: This invaluable introduction takes the reader to the artist's finest works of every period, more than 60 of which are illustrated in full color.
