Piet Mondrian (March 7, 1872 – February 1, 1944) was a Dutch painter. He was a contributor to the De Stijl art movement. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. In 1892, Mondrian entered the Academy for Fine Art in Amsterdam. He began his career as a teacher in Primary Education, but he also practiced painting. Most of his work from this period is Naturalistic or Impressionistic, consisting largely of landscapes.

"The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty."

                 -Piet Mondrian

This piece is a great addition to my exhibit, the colors, abstract quality and thought provoking theme .
