Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and pioneer of abstract art, known for developing Neoplasticism—a style emphasizing geometric shapes and primary colors. Moving away from figurative art, Mondrian’s grid-based compositions, such as Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow, sought to express universal harmony and balance. His work influenced modern design, architecture, and art movements like De Stijl. Mondrian’s pursuit of purity and order in art made him a leading figure in 20th-century abstraction, bridging art and philosophy with clarity and precision.
