Mondrian
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
The work of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is conventionally understood as clinical, calculated art from which all traces of life have been expunged. With its bright colors and large, simple shapes it is frequently `quoted' in interior and product design. Mondrian's own writings lend weight to this image of his art as rational and almost mechanically pure, yet in this program David Batchelor argues that this perspective does scant justice to Mondrian's actual paintings.
