Class V - Inspiration from Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter. In 1920, he set out his position as an artist with "De Stijl", where he explained that the essence of his artist ideas and themes, was simple. Painting is composed of colour and line; these elements must set an example with other forms of art in society, in order to gain success. He represents in his work, the ideas of unity; universal beauty.

He was and is still considered the founder of Modern Art.

When Mondrian made his paintings, he would always mix his own colours, never using the paint directly out of a tube. He often used primary colours – red yellow and blue – as in this painting.
