Composition in red and gray

ID: #13535 | Kubism | Abstract

Date: 1938
Medium: oil on canvas
Dimensions: 109.1 x 106

The painting shows an abstract composition consisting of rectangular white areas separated by black lines. The overall impression is very geometric and minimalist. There is a small orange stripe at the bottom of the painting, which contrasts with the other colours and adds a slight accent to the work. Each segment appears to be the same width and forms a repeating pattern. The whole work is simple, but at the same time offers a certain depth and can provoke thought about the sense of balance and repetition in visual art.

Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) Painter. Despite being from a family of drawing teachers, he was initially drawn to a priestly life. At last, his uncle brought him to painting as he had enrolled Mondrian at the Academy in Amsterdam. Mondrian experimented in his painting. His early works bear a clear inspiration from impressionism. At the 1911 exhibition in Amsterdam, he met with the newly beginning style of Cubism, of which he became very fond. Through continuous painting of the same object ( Tableau I), he tried to capture its true nature. For three years, he lived in Paris, but with the beginning of World War I, he returned to Holland. He did not remain long, and again returned to Paris, where he created very abstract images - Duinlandschap. His greatest fame, paradoxically, came in the USA, where he had to move under the threat of Nazism in 1938. It is said that he worked so hard that he had blisters on his hands from paint brushes. Through his geometricism he influenced many of his successors. Piet Mondrian died 1. 2. 1944 pneumonia.
