Composition 8 1914

"Composition 8" (1914) by Piet Mondrian is a prime example of his signature style, Neo-Plasticism. This artwork is a non-representational composition of geometric shapes and lines, emphasizing a sense of balance and order. The use of primary colors (here, light pink, gray, and brown) creates a minimalist, abstract aesthetic, reflecting Mondrian's belief in the inherent beauty of pure form and color. This style, which emerged in the early 20th century, influenced many movements in art and design, and is now considered a cornerstone of modern abstract art.
