Composition in White, Red, and Yellow 1936

"Composition in White, Red, and Yellow" is a 1936 oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, a key figure in the De Stijl art movement. The work embodies the principles of this movement, which emphasized geometric abstraction, primary colors, and the reduction of visual elements to their essential forms. This painting showcases a grid structure, with black lines dividing the canvas into rectangles, punctuated by a single thin red line across the top and a vertical yellow line on the right. The minimalist composition emphasizes balance and harmony, reflecting Mondrian's belief in the universal principles of beauty.
