what's mondrain most famous for?

Answer 1

When I think Mondrian, I think "Composition in red and black" or other similar works. They mostly consist of lines in black forming boxes which he colored in. In my foolishness I told my Art History teacher, "I can do that!" To which he retorted, "Then why don't you?"

Answer 2

Piet Mondrian was one of the most notable artists in the De Stijl (Dutch for "The Style") art movement. It sought to break art down into its basic forms and colors to achieve what they believed to be a utopian view of art. They considered the Primary Colors (Red, Blue, and Yellow) as the base colors for their work; Lines fufilled the form aspect. So to answer your question, Mondrian was most famous for his geometrical compositions, not just one in particular. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Piet Mondrian was a painter in the early 20th century, whose brilliantly coloured long-faced women became his signature theme. "She looks like a Mondrian" is an immediate descriptor for a melancholy string-bean lady with a mournful expression...and a slightly tilted head, long-fingered hands, etc. Mondrian is definitely in the Modernist group, but worked his own genre and didn't generate anything close to a "school of Mondrian". He was a one-off.

Answer 4

I think of "Broadway Boogie Woogie."
