1872-1944

Here is the artist in his studio and at work. In fact, it may surprise you to know that Piet Mondrian thought of himself as a scientist!

Piet loved to paint places, trees and flowers.

Abstract ArtArtwork based on things like flowers,

landscapes, and buildings but the artist leaves out details, making the painting simple.

Piet Mondrian only wanted to work with lines, shapes and colors.
