Composition with Grid 1 1918

"Composition with Grid 1" (1918) by Piet Mondrian is a prime example of his signature style, Neo-Plasticism. The painting, composed of rectangles in yellow, gray, and white, embodies Mondrian's belief in reducing art to its fundamental elements. These geometric forms are arranged on a grid, creating a sense of balance and order, which reflects Mondrian's aspirations for a universal visual language. The absence of any representational elements encourages viewers to engage with the pure abstraction and the inherent harmony of the composition.
