| 'Farmyard with Blue Gate' (c.1898) by Piet Mondriaan; Tate Gallery, London |
Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan (March 7, 1872 - February 1, 1944) was most famous for his geometric abstract art, paintings of white ground with black vertical and horizontal lines and the three primary colours. He was one of the major contributors to the magazine and art movement 'De Stijl'. I'm not really fond of abstract art so I will post here one of his early paintings, 'Farmyard with Blue Gate'. His early work consisted largely of landscapes, in the style of the Dutch Impressionists of the Hague School. I would never have guessed this was a Mondriaan. It's quite pretty, isn't it?
