Less is often more - such is Piet Mondrian's approach to art. His main pictorial elements are horizontals and verticals, his preferred colours yellow, red and blue. Throughout his life, Mondrian (1872-1944) applied these simple elements in his quest for "universal harmony". This publication in the Taschen Basic Art Series presents an extra-ordinary painter and art theoretician whose influence on architects and designers is as profound today as it ever was.

This review is from: Piet Mondrian: 1872-1944; Structures in Space (Basic Art) (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I recently moved to a street named "Mondrian Way". I am an amateur decorator and many articles I read would reference a "Mondrian-like" appearance or "reminscent of Mondrian". I was curious about "Mondrian" and this book not only has satisfied my curiousity about the person, but also about his art and the motivation behind it. I would recommend this book to anyone with a similar interest.

This review is from: Piet Mondrian: 1872-1944; Structures in Space (Basic Art) (Paperback)
The narrative is very well written and provides a chronological history of the artist, from Mondrian's early days, before the iconic, blocks of color and lines to his last works. Illustrations are referenced from the narrativ,e throughout.

Short but excellent,

This review is from: Piet Mondrian: 1872-1944; Structures in Space (Basic Art) (Paperback)
For such a short (and physically small) book, it packs a lot of information and wonderful photographs of the various paintings into a small space. Excellent chronology for those who are just beginning their journey into art history .and the important artists who shaped the essence of art in the Western World
