He was a famous artist that was born March 7, 1872 in Amersfoort Netherlands. 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. The Hague School, which was not a school at all, was a group of artists that lived and worked in The Hague between 1860 and 1890. Some famous artists from there were Anton Mauve, and Adolph Artz. 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 was also a famous cubist painter but also was know around the world for many other things and projects he did. There are also many interesting facts that we found about Piet Mondrian. 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. Our last one is that he was born in the Netherlands which not that many Artist’s come from we thought that was interesting. This is our report on the famous artist Piet Mondrian.



My artist is Piet Mondrian and my artworks names are Composition 1 and 2. I gave them these names because that is what Mondrian would name his. I used Acrylic paint because he would use paint also I used sharpie marker to be original. My inspiration was Piet Mondrian. There really wasn’t a mood or emotions in the painting or drawing. I really enjoyed working on this project because I thought it was cool getting to do a project on our own. I don’t think I would of done anything different if I got another chance. Some techniques I used were big black bold lines because Mondrian would use them. I tried to do everything that Mondrian would use on his works to make them look like his works. Overall I am very satisfied with the projects that I made. I also hope we could do a project like this in the future. This is my artist statement on Piet Mondrian my artist
