	ArtandCulture Artist: Piet Mondrian
		Although the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian did not himself organize the groups with which he is associated -- De Stijl, Cercle et Carré (Circle and Square), and Abstraction-Création -- his participation was essential to the growth of abstraction.
		Mondrian's shift toward greater abstraction was inspired by a desire to express universals.
		For Mondrian, the tensions between modern technology and individuality were more a matter of perception than reality, and he believed that the move from the particular to the abstract was the way to bring together these two apparent opposites.

		Piet Mondrian was a famous abstract painter, born in the Netherlands in 1872.
		Of course Mondrian didn’t start out painting squares and rectangles—growing up during the tail end of Impressionism, Piet Mondrian’s first paintings were consistent with that time period, as well as the Post-impressionism of Van Gogh.
		Mondrian’s most famous works are his paintings made up of pure red, yellow, and blue, as well as fl and white, but for a while he used shades of gray as well, and even his lines were dark gray instead of pure fl.

	Mondrian, Piet
		Through the rhythem of differences and contrasts of a few colors and lines, with an appearence of both freedom and control in the opposition of the regular and the random, he effects a stirring expression of his delight in sensation and movement.
		In conceiving Broadway Boogie-Woogie, Mondrian could well have been inspired by the sights of New York, the dazzling night spectacle of its high buildings with their countless points of light, and in particular the moving illumined signs at Times Square.
		Mondrian was never freer and more colorful, and closer to the city spectacle in its double aspect of the architectual as an endless construction of repeated regular units and of the random in the perpetual movement of people, traffic, and flashing lights."

		Neoplasticism is the theory and practice of the de Stijl group, chiefly characterized by an emphasis on the formal structure of a work of art, and restriction of spatial or linear relations to vertical and horizontal movements as well as restriction of the artist's palette to fl, white, and the primary colors.
		In this new art form (Neoplasticism) Mondrian’s goal was to eliminate all traces of representation in favor of balanced compositions of primary color and vertical and horizontal lines.
		Although Mondrian's rectilinear geometry is worlds apart from Kandinsky's dynamic and apocalyptic images, both artists were dedicated to the idea of abstract art and shared the belief that abstraction could convey philosophical meaning.

	MoMA.org \| The Collection \| Piet Mondrian. Broadway Boogie Woogie. 1942-43
		Mondrian arrived in New York in 1940, one of the many European artists who moved to the United States to escape World War II.
		Mondrian's aesthetic doctrine of Neo-Plasticism restricted the painter's means to the most basic kinds of line—that is, to straight horizontals and verticals—and to a similarly limited color range, the primary triad of red, yellow, and blue plus white, fl, and the grays between.
		Mondrian's love of boogie-woogie must have come partly because he saw its goals as analogous to his own: "destruction of melody which is the destruction of natural appearance; and construction through the continuous opposition of pure means—dynamic rhythm."
