Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was a Dutch Abstract painter of the first half of the 20th Century. A contemporary and disciple of the famous cubists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Mondrian challenged the definition of art itself, working with simple lines, right angles, correct geometric figures and pure, primary colors. His work attained a level of abstraction far beyond that of even his most progressive colleagues.

@stenifersant His latter stuff was crap....

[Serpo71]

His earlier stuff was much better than his latter stuff. His latter stuff was doo-doo

@beradification are you serious? this is the 1930s we're talking about. his work is completely different to the movements at that time, and to think he saw trees while he painted that

@beradification - No way. That title belongs to Andy Warhol. Or perhaps to his 'descendends', Damien Hirst or Jeff Koons.

Mondrian is one of the all-time great con-artists
