piet mondrian
Wednesday, March 30, 2005
I started this entry several weeks ago and never posted it because i find that i don't have that much to say about mondrian. This is what i've got:i was thinking that perhaps the logical thing for me to do would be to find a bunch of works by mondrian next. not because i'm necessarily all that fond of mondrian, honestly, but because of the amount of search engine hits i get based on my mondrian page. it's not intended to be misleading, the search engines find what they will. but i figured it was appropriate none the less.
i have to admit that i like mondrian more now than i did after going to the guggenheim and seeing a bunch of his stuff there. some of it is really just not that captivating. seriously. but these i like:
Broadway Boogie Woogie
Who remembers Maze Craze from the Atari 2600?
Composition 10
Composition with Blue, Yellow, Black and Red
Composition with Gray and Light Brown
I don't care for the mustard color of this piece much, but the blues and greys are nice. I like the fact that this piece is more amorphous without such a heavy grid-structure, but i don't like that it looks like the black lines weren't painted last. Letting the "humanness" come through in the work is one thing, but it looks sloppy.
Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue
Really, when you think of Mondrian in your head, isn't this what you see?
Gray Tree
Line and Color
New York City
Vertical With Blue
