A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian
(1872-1944) was at once an extraordinary painter and leading art
theoretician whose influence resonates to this day. Coining the
term "Neo-plasticism", he pursued a style of painting composed only
of primary colors against a grid of black vertical and horizontal
lines and a white base background. Mondrian's vision was that this
essential painting would help to achieve a society in which art as
such has no place, but rather exists for the total realization of
"beauty." With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York,
Mondrian drew upon the modern metropolis and modern music,
especially jazz, as points of inspiration. In 1917, he cofounded De
Stijl, originally a publication, and subsequently a circle of
practitioners, committed to a strictly geometrical art of
horizontals and verticals. With key works and succinct texts, this
introductory book presents Mondrian's distinctive and pioneering
oeuvre, an abiding inspiration for fashion, art, architecture, and
design, from White Stripes album covers to Yves Saint Laurent
dresses. 2016 (c) US Mondrian/Holtzman Trust About the series Born
