🎨 Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue, 1927
by Piet Mondrian 🇳🇱
oil on canvas, 49.5 x 49.5 cm
Cleveland Museum of Art, USA
About the artwork:
Mondrian, a pioneer of abstract art, is renowned for his De Stijl aesthetic, characterized by a reduction to the essentials of form and color. This painting exemplifies his iconic style, consisting of a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue.
The composition is a study in balance and purity of form. Mondrian's use of straight lines and right angles, along with the asymmetrical yet harmonious distribution of color blocks, creates a sense of equilibrium and calm. The painting reflects his philosophical belief in a universal harmony and order, achieved through the reduction of elements to their simplest forms.
