Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian, born in 1872 in Amersfoort and died in 1944 in New York City, was a Dutch painter and a pioneer of abstract art. Known for his contributions to the De Stijl art movement, Mondrian's works such as 'Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow' epitomize his signature style of geometric abstraction. His use of primary colors and grid patterns reflects a search for universal harmony and balance, making him a central figure in the development of non-representational art.
