New York City - Piet Mondrian

The density of blue, yellow and red crisscrossing the entire surface magnifies the "new energy" of America. In this painting, Piet Mondrian translates the architectural gigantism, the orthogonal urbanism and the frantic traffic of the New York megalopolis. This city had a strong impact on the artist's career when he moved there in 1940.
