Piet Mondrian became known as an official artist in 1892, after he attended school and became a teacher. Famous artists like Van Gogh, and Picasso influenced Mondrian greatly. Mondrian sampled out two art movements, Post-Impressionism, and Cubism, before finding the right art movement for his style of painting. Mondrian originally emerged as a Post-Impressionist artist, after that a Cubist artist, then as a De Stijl artist, and eventually a Neo-Plasticism artist. When Mondrian first emerged as

In this room, the walls are white however the green light tube placed in the room changes the colour of the entire room making it appear to be vivid, kelly green. This work is a light focused work made with 30 green fluorescent tubes. The artist combines
There’s a famous adage by Dutch painter Piet Mondrian that goes: “Art is not made for anybody and is, at the same time, for everybody.” Although it is only the artist who can truly grasp the intricacies of his work, the message he aims to convey through his work is meant to be shared even with non-artists. Art is not just about the human expression; it is a shared activity. Art is conceived when someone creates something that someone else appreciates (Krimmel, 2016). It is not considered to be
colours. Influences on Mondrian Although more famously known for his iconic geometric pieces, Piet Mondrian began his career with realism. His earlier work was exquisite in terms of detail, creativity and uniqueness. It consisted of portraits of people and often landscapes. Holland’s windmills and fields were often an inspiration. Mondrian did not just orientate himself towards the themes of his past but began to find inspiration from other artists. Vincent Van Gogh inspired Mondrian to create paintings
reductionist movement that was formed in 1917, which embraced the ultra-simplistic forms of straight-lines, rectangles, and primary colors. One of the most famous works from this movement is entitled “Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow”(1930) by Piet Mondrian. The main point of the movement is to utilize the most basic forms of composition to express the laws governing the harmony of the world. In 1917, A Dutch artist named Theo Doesburg founded the art journal “De Stijl” in order to recruit members
at non-objective art and at how Kazimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian viewed the relationship between this type of art and spirituality. Specifically, while it is evident that both men saw the important ways in which intellectual and cognitive transcendence could be achieved through non-objective art, Malevich seems the more explicit of the two men when it comes to linking non-objective artwork with western, organized religion; for his part, Mondrian favors a more diffuse or less-easy-to-label spiritualism
Bauhaus movements, De Stijl spanned to other forms of art like sculpture, furniture design, architecture, and graphic design. The movement continued up until the last published issue of De Stijl in 1931. Major contributors to the group include Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Georges Vantongerloo. These artists helped to define the De Stijl through their use of form and geometry inspired by mathematics. The De Stijl movement is recognizable in the simplistic use of forms on a plane. Pieces
1.INTRODUCTION On the occasion of the οpening of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and the publicizing of the Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture archive this October, it is only fair to dedicate this essay to one of the most controversial, most talented and innovative couturiers in the history of fashion, the man that as Pierre Bergé said: “[…]gave power to women.” (Another Magazine 2017) through his garments, through the identity of the style that he created; a style that is, still to this day, fresh,

It was an avant-garde magazine. Famous painters, designers, and architects like Piet Mondrian, Bart van der Leck, Gerrit Rietveld, and J.J.P. Oud joined this movement with Doesburg. This famous personality devoted his life to the understanding of art from the rational, essential, and universal aspects. The Will to Style is a lecture given
Cubism was one of the strongest art movements in the 20th century that gave birth to many other movements such as futurism and suprematism. The Forefathers of this revolutionary way of painting were Pablo Picasso and George Braque. Although it may have seemed to be abstract and geometrical to an untrained eye, cubist art do depict real objects. The shapes are flattened onto canvas so that different sides of each shape can be shown simultaneously from many angles. This new style gave a 3 dimensional
Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud was born in Purmerend, North Holland in 1890. He began his education at Amsterdam's Quellinus School of Decorative Arts and later began working with the architectural firm of Jeseph Cuypers and Jan Stuyt in 1907. Oud was interested in architectural theory, and found his lack of knowledge in that area frustrating. He left the firm after only six months to study at the National School for Art Education in Amsterdam. He had high expectations for the education he would
The modern era of architecture and interior design since the nineteenth century has often been an exciting expression. The contemporary designers were not only trying to break through traditions such as Rietveld 's Schroder House, but some also taking a leap back to the classical antiquity of style in the form of Empire Style was taken by Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine in Chateau de Malmaison. Although being very different in term of their contemporary cultural-socio-political state, to a certain

Take Yves Saint Laurent’s Mondrian dress, created in 1965. Yves Saint Laurent was inspired by the 1920s abstract geometric pattern painting of Piet Mondrian work. Yves Saint Laurent realised during the 1960s that the simplicity and the flat planes, were ideal for the developing sack dress. Later on Yves Saint Laurent’s dress was replicated
When viewing Georges Seurat’s, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (Fig. 31-37), perception is changed vastly depending on the viewer 's proximity to the piece. At close range, all that is visible is a mass array of countless circular dots and tiny lines in a vast range of colors. Greens, blues, reds, oranges, yellows, white, browns, black and purples are all visible in a multitude of intensities. The Divisionism technique utilized causes this piece to appear as an abstract collection of colors when viewed

One of these Artists was Willem De Kooning. Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian were some of the artists that heavily influenced De Kooning. His early works showed hints of cubism combined with biomorphic shapes and strong color with heavy visible strokes and lots of texture. Through the middle of his career he produced several

I think that artists like Picasso, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian, and Paul Klee, for example (who represent modern art), display a child-like style (as if a child could have painted them).

Claude Monet is often accredited as the leading member of the Impressionist movement. His work in Impression, Sunrise is the painting that gave birth to the movement. Here we can perceive Monet’s use of a limited palette: muddy blues and gray establish a somewhat somber mood – contrasted by a bright orange, representing the sun at dusk. Seizing the viewer’s attention is a figure in a boat, an effect the artist has achieved by painting the background boats a lighter, blurrier gray. Not only is this
The Golden Ratio Certain pictures, objects, and animals appeal to the human mind more than others. Proportions and images of symmetry often contribute to our fascination with them. Often, when examined carefully, you may find a common “coincidence” between man made objects and those found naturally in nature. This fluke, however, may be used to ascertain various mathematical relationships between these objects. This paper will introduce the golden ratio and weigh its significance on math
