Features: Mondrian, the master of 20th-century geometric abstract art, is one of the three greatest painters of the Netherlands. After being influenced by the Dutch School, Impressionism, and Expressionism, he founded the De Stijl movement in 1917, developing his unique compositional concepts. By combining the fundamental elements of painting with the arrangement of geometric shapes, he established a distinctive new constructivism. In Mondrian's geometric works, the ever-changing natural scenes are brought into limited forms of expression, with straight lines and colors combining to create squares of varying sizes, producing rhythmically rich compositions. The simple structural forms interpret the vitality and dynamism of the theme, guiding us to break free from the constraints of traditional imagery, release our vision, and discover the true essence of life. This book analyzes and explains Mondrian's artistic journey and the painting philosophy of new constructivism. With clear and accessible text paired with Mondrian's stunning artworks, it guides readers to share his painting-led worldview and appreciate how Mondrian sought balance between nature and spirit, matter and consciousness, to build a utopia of freedom and liberation.
