One of the founders of the De Stijl movement, he began by painting landscapes in a traditional sombre Dutch manner, but after moving to Paris in 1909 he came under the influence of Matisse and Cubism. He then began painting still-lifes, becoming increasingly abstract. During World War 1 he concentrated on rectilinear compositions which depend for their beauty on the simple relationships between the coloured areas. His work has been a major influence on all purely abstract painters, and he is considered the leader of Neoplasticism.

Extractions: VIEW IMAGE LIST " 'Everything was spotless white, like a laboratory. In a light smock, with his clean-shaven face, taciturn, wearing his heavy glasses, Mondrian seemed more a scientist or priest than an artist. The only relief to all the white were large matboards, rectangles in yellow, red and blue, hung in asymmetric arrangements on all the walls. Peering at me through his glasses, he noticed my glance and said: "I've arranged these to make it more cheerful."' "Thus Charmion von Wiegand on Mondrian's New York studio. In his Paris studio he had used flowers to make it more cheerful. One tulip in a vase, an artificial one, its leaves painted white. "As Mondrian was probably incapable of irony, the tulip was unlikely to be a wry joke about his having had to produce flowerpieces between 1922 and 1925 when he no longer wanted to because there were no buyers for his abstracts. It could, of course, have been a revenge for the agony a compromise of that sort must have cost him. More likely, it was simply a part of the general revulsion against green and growth which made him, when seated at a table beside a window through which trees were visible to him, persuade someone to change places. "The artificial tulip fitted in, of course, with the legend of the studio as laboratory or cell, the artist as scientist or anchorite. Mondrian felt it mattered that an artist should present himself in a manner appropriate to his artistic aims. A photograph of him taken in 1908 shows a bearded floppy-haired Victorian man of sensibility. A photograph of 1911 shows a twentieth-century technologist, cleanshaven with centre parting and brilliantined hair; the spectacles were an inevitable accessory. Soft and hairy becomes hard and smooth; one of the great landscape-painters of his generation, one of the great flower-painters of his generation, comes to find trees monstrous, green fields intolerable.

Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was a Dutch Abstract painter of the first half of the 20th Century. A contemporary and disciple of the famous cubists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Mondrian challenged the definition of art itself, working with simple lines, right angles, correct geometric figures and pure, primary colors. His work attained a level of abstraction far beyond that of even his most progressive colleagues. The painter was born Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan, in 1872, in Amersfoort, a small town in central Holland. Though once prosperous, by the end of the 19th Century, most of the population lived in relative property, and the town was a bastion of religious fanaticism. Mondrian's father, head teacher at the local primary school was a devout Protestant, and often neglected his family in favor of service to the church and charity. Continued...

See prints of actual Mondrian compositions About the "Mondrian Machine" The machine is inspired by the art of Piet Mondrian . His most recognized works use perpendicular black lines that subdivide the canvas and regions of white or primary colors (i.e., blue, red, yellow). Mondrian called this highly abstract and geometric style neoplasticism . Mondrian of course did not have access to the computer graphics technologies we have today. Nonetheless, his artistic abstractions mirror the abstractions found not only in computer graphics, but throughout computer technology: the combination of primitive elements and the subdivision of large problems into smaller subproblems. The "Mondrian Machine" is not intended to in any way trivialize the work of Mondrian, but to recognize his place in an abstract art tradition that long predates digital computer technology.
