More about this artwork
Piet Mondrian's "Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue" (1927) is a striking example of the Dutch artist’s pioneering abstract style, which he called Neoplasticism, or De Stijl. This influential art movement, co-founded by Mondrian, emphasized an extreme reduction of form and color to basic elements.In this painting, Mondrian employs a grid of black lines that balance and harmonize the distinct color planes of red, yellow, and blue with white, which remains the most dominant element. The composition is meticulously balanced, featuring a large white space that enables the colors to stand out with vivid clarity and interact dynamically with each other. Each color block and line in the composition is deliberately placed to maintain a sense of equilibrium and tension within the flat picture plane.Through his abstract, minimalistic approach, Mondrian sought to represent universal aesthetics and values through painting. "Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue" not only exemplifies Mondrian's mature style but also reflects his philosophical beliefs about art's role in expressing purity and order.
