Geometrical shapes and bright primary colors are the architecture of the most famous paintings by Piet Mondrian.
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was and is an incredibly influential modern abstract artist. His paintings hang in many of the most famous museums in New York, Chicago, London and Paris.
Mondrian had a lengthy painting career that was not always characterized by the straight lines, geometry and primary colors of his most famous “Neo-Plasticist” works, such as his Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red. Mondrian also painted in the naturalist and cubist style early in his career.
His well known neo-plasticism works were produced beginning in the early 1920s through the 1940s. One of his most famous, Broadway Boogie-Woogie, was produced in New York and hangs today in the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.
