Dutch, 1872–1944
Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) was a Dutch painter and art theoretician who played a pioneering role in abstract art. He began his career painting naturalistic and Impressionistic landscapes in the Netherlands before gradually developing a style based on simple geometric elements. Mondrian co-founded the De Stijl group and developed a non-representational approach he called Neoplasticism, using only primary colors, primary values, and horizontal and vertical lines. His work aimed to express universal aesthetics and spiritual values through abstraction.
