Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue
Piet Mondrian's 'Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue' (1922), an abstract artwork with black lines, white, blue, yellow, and red rectangles.
This iconic abstract painting, "Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue" by Piet Mondrian, exemplifies Neo-Plasticism. Created in 1922, it features a grid of black lines intersecting at right angles, dividing the canvas into rectangular planes. These planes are filled with primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—alongside white and black. The composition achieves a dynamic equilibrium through the precise placement and proportion of these elements. Mondrian sought to express universal harmony and order, reducing visual elements to their most fundamental forms. The painting's clean lines and bold colors create a sense of balance and purity, making it a seminal work of modern art and a testament to the power of abstract expression.
