Summary
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His influence on the development of abstract painting and sculpture - and on decorative industrial and commercial art of every kind - remains profound. In this new volume, Carel Blotkamp, a well-known authority on the artist, provides the most lucid study to date of Mondrian's work.
