Composition A - Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian's Composition A is distinguished by its primary colors framed by black lines that are so familiar to us today. Abstract, austere, it gave birth to the De Stijl movement: absence of curves and obliques, presence of pure colors (yellow, red, blue) and non-colors (gray, black, white). The painter claimed to make an amalgam between art, matter and spirit in order to seize a universal harmony. Eager to impulse this new vision of art, he became one of the artists who most influenced the world today. In the same style, Mondrian also painted Composition in Red, Yellow, Blue and Black and Composition II in red, blue and yellow.
