"Composition No. III in Red, Blue, Yellow and Black" is an abstract painting by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian . This painting was completed in 1929 and is one of his key works that represent his style called Neoplasticism or de Stijl.

The painting shows his characteristic approach to abstraction, where Mondrian uses simple geometric shapes and a limited color palette. The composition is divided into rectangular blocks that are filled with red, blue, yellow and black. Form balance and precise arrangement of elements are key elements in Mondrian's art.

The painting reflects his belief in harmony, balance and universal order. Mondrian believed that abstraction and reduction to the basic elements of geometry could express absolute harmony and universal principles. His work was influential in the development of modern abstract art and was associated with the de Stijl art movement, which promotes similar ideals.

"Composition No. III in Red, Blue, Yellow and Black" exemplifies Mondrian's commitment to abstraction and his efforts to achieve harmony through simple forms and colors.

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.
