Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) used horizontals and verticals in his art, his preferred colours being yellow, red and blue. Throughout his life, he applied these simple elements in his quest for "universal harmony". This book presents the work of this painter and art theoretician.

review of Mondrian - Structures in Space,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mondrian (Basic Art) (Paperback)
A good overall introductory-level book of Mondrian's work. Lots of full-color illustrations, many full page, and relatively short text make this book easy for the reader who is developing an interest in Mondrian's work. The author places Mondrian's work within the context of the times it was made, discussing concurrent developments and how other artist's work was influential on Mondrian, and how his work in turn influenced other artists. Several illustrations reproduce the work of these other artists. The text is both biographical and developmental, as the various periods of Mondrian's work are all discussed, from his earliest Hague school-influenced landscapes through his Cubist inspired works to his mature Neo-Plastic paintings. The photographic reproductions are excellent, and the text is informative without being scholarly. For anyone needing an introduction to Mondrian's work and career, this is the book for you.
