Piet Mondrian
(1872-1944)

In 1940, the great artist fled the war in Europe to New York City. At his death in 1944, all that was found in his apartment was a cache of personal papers. He had pared down his few possessions to some postcards, cablegrams, address-book pages, a notebook, an important unpublished essay, and his horoscope readings, all of which provide an intimate glimpse of a significant artist. The correspondence details his fears and anxieties elicited by the war

He was a 20th century painter who was most famous for painting that are made up of black lines and colored rectangles to make amazing pieces of art. His early years he was a naturalistic and landscapes. After a while he discovered cubism, which he fell in love with. He was Painter who would use watercolors primarily. The type of artwork in that period at that time was Abstract Expressionism. The styles over the years that Mondrian used were pointillism, cubist, independent abstract, and neoplastic he enjoyed all of them but he was most famous for his independent abstract. Many influenced Mondrian but here are some. Another person that influenced Mondrian was Pablo Picasso in his cubist days. Many people believe Picasso perfected and invented the cubist style of art. One last person that influenced Mondrian was Georges Braque who also a famous cubist painter but also was know around the world for many other things and projects he did. Here are a few of our favorites. First of while he was visiting Paris for a trip because of WWI he couldn’t get back to the Netherlands which is his home country.

My artwork title for my 1st project is lines and rectangles. My 2nd project is lines and cubes. For more 1st project I used sharpie. For my 2nd I used paint.

My inspiration for this project was that it was the best project for me because im not a good drawer. I was trying to put cold and warm colors in both projects. I enjoyed this project because I was not rushed I had a week to do it. If I could do anything over I would try and get different paint.

I did my project for a couple reasons I did this project. My number one reason was its simple and fun.
