Pivotal in modern art’s move towards abstraction, Piet
Mondrian’s oeuvre is extraordinarily versatile and complex. Not
only did he paint and draw, he also wrote extensively about his
thoughts and theories on art and life. Moving from traditional
Dutch landscape painting to a pronounced rhythmic framework
focusing on compositional structure rather than naturalistic
representation, Mondrian was profoundly impressed by contemporary
culture. Thus, he was not only inspired by the pattern of the
extensive Dutch canal system, but also by the rhythm of jazz and
the foxtrot. Demonstrating the impact of his oeuvre, Yves
Saint-Laurent's famous "Mondrian Dress" even made him a fashion
icon posthumously. Celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth,
Ulf Küster entertainingly leads through well- and lesser-known
aspects of Mondrian's life and work offering inspiring impulses for
reflection and further engagement with the fascinating artist.
