  • Artist Piet Mondrian is known today for his patterns of black lines and bold, primary colors. But he started out painting classic Dutch landscapes. An exhibit at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague traces the artist's path to abstraction. Photo: Gemeentemuseum

    Mondrian's designs were very popular in the mid 1960's. My mom had a Mondrian inspired scarf which I still have today, and my uncle had a shirt with a similar design. I am now knitting a Mondrian design pullover. I love his work.

    Thanks for the insightful video! Interestingly, Mondrian never used a ruler to draw such crisp and straight lines

      @@KolyaUrtz I personally find the blocks amazing because of the colors. Sure, they are the primary colors, but it is the freshness they give. The appeal and where the color lay that really make me fancy it.

    This is what I call: "Shopping bag art". I don't know if you understand the word, or I have to turn it upside down and inside out, and analyse it. A Mondrian picture has been hanging upside for 75 years. If there was an artistick meaning in it, someone would have found out sooner. It is not like: "I have a picture of Dolly Parton. I don't care which way she is turned. Ha Ha Haw Ha Haw Ha".

    All good art--is inherently abstract shapes, composition and color interactions. He had that from early on. He did not develop from a figurative (code for inferior and old fashioned), painter--to an abstract (code for superior, leading edge painter). He was always fantastic, except for some student work. His earlier abstract work had all the superior qualities of his previous work. Then, for some reason, perhaps in an attempt to be original and intellectual--he lost the great emotional and spiritual power that he'd always had, and became cold.
    That's what I see. I feel no passion in his more famous and iconic works.

    • @aclark903
      @aclark903 3 роки тому +1

      I think it helps to realize that so called naturalistic art is abstract in as much as it cleverly reduces 3D to 2. Paintings are flat, life is 3D so already some illusion is going on.

    I love all of Mondrian's work--up until the works he became famous for. Most of his work connects very powerfully with my very soul. But for some reason, he went down a cold clinical, intellectual rabbit hole where I am unable to follow.
    I loved his abstract works up until it became too theoretical--too unfelt. Personally, I think he lost touch with everything that made him great--his emotional and spiritual power!
