Did you know?
Piet Mondrian was a pioneer of 20th-century abstract art and a key figure in the De Stijl movement, advocating for 'Neo-Plasticism' which sought to express universal truths through the reduction of art to its most essential elements: primary colors and non-colors (black, white, grey), combined with orthogonal lines. His work aimed for spiritual harmony and order, reflecting an ideal vision of the world.
