I was turned onto Mondrian by Yves Saint Laurent's re-interpretationof his paintings as a dress, but I have no idea that Mondrian's body of work was so large! Quite literally hundreds nad hundreds (not even including those lost during WWII) of graphic artworks focusing on the arrangement of lines and colour blocks. Many of these works look very similar, but it is extremely difficult to actually wualify any specific pieces as "better" as they are all so oddly unique. What intrigues me most is that none yet have discovered the formulas that Mondrian worked from to arrive at these carefully balanced proportions, which really speaks to his deep understanding of proportion from an intrinsic and organic standpoint.

The main focus in my owning this book is the intriguing use that Mondrian made of blocks of colour. His classical landscape oils are brilliant. Excellent reference text, although I am not implying that I have any credentials to review the scholarly aspect. ( )
