About the book >.>.> Working within the austere limits of the straight line the right angle the three primary colors (red yellow and blue) and the three primary non-colors (white gray and black) Piet Mondrian created a style of painting that is at once personal and universal inimitable despite its seeming sim- plicity and of seminal influence on twentieth-century painting sculpture architecture and the applied arts. As a pioneer and founder of abstract art Mondrian was the undaunted completely selfless champion of objectivity. The subjective “law of inner necessity” which governed the work of his great contemporary and fellow abstractionist. Vasily Kandinsky was alien to everything. Mondrian was striving for. He called his approach the new plastics or neo- plasticism and sought through it to explore and express “pure reality.” the “unity resulting from the equivalence of opposites” by “the abolition of all particular form.” At the same time he wished his art to serve as a beacon lighting mankind’s way to the future.
