Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872 - 1944) • Self-Portrait • 1917 • Gemeentemuseum den Haag, Hague, Netherlands
Mondrian used the word spiritual to refer to the underlying equilibrium that connects all beings. The prolific body of Piet Mondrian artwork we can look back on today tells the story of an artist who underwent an aesthetic evolution, from objective, figurative representation to pure abstraction. By tracing that evolution through its various stages, we can follow Mondrian along his personal philosophical and artistic journey, through which he sought to understand the universal essence of humanity and to perfectly express it through abstract art.
