Composition in Color A 1917

"Composition in Color A" (1917) by Piet Mondrian is a prime example of the artist's signature style, Neoplasticism. The painting consists of a white background with geometric shapes, primarily squares, in red, blue, and yellow, along with black lines. The work is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and its focus on pure abstraction. Mondrian aimed to express fundamental elements of visual art through these primary colors and geometric forms, resulting in a composition that is both simple and striking, reflecting the artist's search for universal principles in art.
