More about this artwork
Discover the pure abstraction and bold simplicity in Piet Mondrian's 1929 masterpiece, "Composition No. I, with Red and Black." This painting exemplifies the artist’s iconic style, characterized by a grid of vertical and horizontal lines that segment the canvas into distinct blocks.In this work, Mondrian uses a limited palette of colors—vivid red and stark black—against a background of pristine white. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, with the large red square at the top left creating a striking visual focus. This is contrasted by smaller blocks of black and white that embody Mondrian's quest for visual harmony through the use of primary colors and non-colors."Composition No. I, with Red and Black" is not just a painting; it is a philosophical statement in Mondrian's artistic journey towards what he called Neoplasticism or De Stijl—a movement that sought to express the universal through the absolute simplicity of form and color.We invite you to delve into the depth of Mondrian's work, a journey that transcends the visual to touch on the profound notions of balance and the essential dynamics between the elements.
