Four years ago I started a blog about the works of Piet Mondrian and how they have been represented by various artists. This blog is about the art of mondrian and the pop-art style. I am a big fan of mondrian and i think he is one of the best artist who has ever lived. I hope you enjoy my blog, leave a comment to let me know what you think.
The style of art is known as ‘neo-plasticism’ and was first created by Piet Mondrian. Although it has influenced many artists over the years, it is probably best associated with Mondrian’s artist friends, Theo van Doesburg and Bart van der Leck.
Towards the end of his life, Piet Mondrian’s work became more geometric and less representational. His earlier works were painted in a palette consisting of blues, reds, yellows and greens. The later works were painted in a range of orangey-reds, greys and purples.

Both van der Leck and Mondrian died in 1944 during World War II leaving behind an artistic legacy that still inspires artists today.
In this blog you will find examples of how Mondrian has been represented by other artists over time by showing both the similarities between them but also their differences.
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is a world-famous Dutch painter and one of the most influential figures in the history of modern art. His work has been shown in many exhibitions around the world and inspired the creation of many artists who later became famous themselves, such as Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock.
The best way to appreciate Piet Mondrian’s work is to look at his paintings in person. The abundance of lines and primary colors can be overwhelming to the viewer. However, it is important to remember that Mondrian’s works are not merely artistic creations but rather visual representations of his philosophical ideals.
Since this may not be feasible for everyone, this blog will explore various aspects of his art, including how it has been interpreted by others.
Today, Piet Mondrian is one of the most important and influential figures in the history of art. However, there was a period when his works were considered to be too abstract and strange for general public.
Towards the end of his life, Mondrian was asked by a journalist why he didn’t make simpler paintings that people could easily enjoy and understand. He replied:
“I am not here to make things easy for the spectator. I am here to be difficult. I want my work to be difficult.”
This is how he managed to create such a unique and yet simple style of art that influenced artists of all kinds over the last century. Here are some examples of how his work has been represented over the years.
Mondrians’ work has been referenced in many different genres of art, most notably Pop Art. Robert Indiana’s Love series is perhaps the most famous example of the use of Mondrian’s work. Andy Warhol also referenced Piet Mondrian in his work.
Mondrian was born in 1872 in the mid-Dutch town of Amersfoort, of a well-to-do family. He was a quiet child, and his father sent him to a boarding school at the age of six for “further discipline.” This apparently worked; Mondrian went on to university, where he studied mathematics, physics and astronomy.
At university he met Bart van der Leck and other future members of the avant garde movement. He became fascinated with the ideas of Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse, who were then inspiring many young artists. In 1895, he moved to Paris to study art. There he joined the group Les Vingt (The Twenty), which also included Matiss
e and several other future fauvists and cubists.
He moved back to Holland in 1903 and began teaching at various schools. In 1909 he became involved with Theo van Doesburg, another member of Les Vingt, in producing a magazine called “De Stijl” (The Style). The magazine lasted only until 1914 but it had an enormous influence on the future direction of Mondrian’s art.
In 1917 he married his first wife, Anna de Hoog, who was also a painter. They
Mondrian art is unique, it has its own style and the artist is an important figure in the art world. Mondrian was a pioneer of modern art movement and influenced many artists during his life.
Mondrian developed a non-representational form of art, which became known as Neo-Plasticism. He used horizontal and vertical lines to create lyrical composition, using only primary colors (blue, yellow, red and white).
Mondrian created abstract compositions that relied on primary colors set against a white background. The most famous series of paintings is called Broadway Boogie Woogie, which consists of bold colored rectangular shapes. His works are characterized by vibrant colors and strong plasticity that resulted from the use of simplified forms.
Towards the end of his career he produced mostly black and white works, but he never abandoned color.
