In Mondrian's Studio
Description
The work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) marked a turning point in the history of modern painting. Initially influenced by Cubism, Mondrian invented an original universal language of geometric shapes and primary colors in the early 1920s and he was one of the pioneers of pure abstraction, an innovative trend that strongly influenced 20th century art. Filmed in the exact replica of his Paris studio, this docu-fiction retraces Mondrian's artistic path from the De Stijl Group to his departure for New York and examines his development of geometric abstraction.
