Piet Mondrian, a central figure in the De Stijl movement, sought to create a universal language of art that transcended individual expression. He believed that pure abstraction, using only primary colors and orthogonal lines, could reveal an underlying cosmic order. His work aimed to foster a new harmony in society, aligning with the philosophical ideals of his time.
