Composition A was painted in 1920 by Piet Mondrian using oil on canvas. The work belongs to the period when Mondrian was developing and refining his mature style, characterized by geometric abstraction and a limited palette. This painting is an example of his commitment to the principles of De Stijl, a movement that sought harmony and order through pure abstraction. The image consists of a grid of black lines forming rectangles and squares filled with primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—as well as white, black, and grey.

The composition is strictly rectilinear, with the colored shapes distributed asymmetrically across the canvas. The brushwork appears even and flat, emphasizing clarity and a sense of balance without illusionistic depth or modeling. The use of primary colors and non-colors, along with the careful arrangement of forms, reflects Mondrian's pursuit of universal visual language. Composition A is dated to 1920 and is part of the collection listed at www.snap-dragon.com.

This period marks Mondrian's increasing influence within the international abstract art scene, though specific details about the commission, early ownership, or exhibition history of this particular work are not documented here. The painting remains a representative example of Mondrian's work during the early 1920s.
