Description
The patterns and forms of a wall and windows seem to be channelling the style of a Mondrian painting.
Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1906 Mondrian (March 7, 1872 � February 1, 1944), was a Dutch painter. He was a contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed neo-plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which he painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. Between his 1905 painting, The River Amstel, and his 1907 Amaryllis, Mondrian changed the spelling of his signature from Mondriaan to Mondrian. Proponents of De Stijl (or Neo-Plasticism) advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to the vertical and horizontal directions, and used only primary colors along with black and white. Indeed, according to the Tate Gallery's online article on neoplasticism, Mondrian himself sets forth these delimitations in his essay "Neo-Plasticism in Pictorial Art".
