Piet Mondrian gets his Broadway Boogie Woogie on



my image is Mondrians Broadway Boogie Woogie, Mondrian represents the restless motion of the city, towards the end of his life, living in new york mondrian was fasinated by the exuberance of city life which is shown in his final painting. The yellow was apparently inspired by New York’s Yellow cabs. He was was a pioneer in “abstraction.” Each painting was worked and reworked, built layer by layer toward an equilibrium of form, color and surface. Mondrian named his style “neoplasticism,” his translation of his own Dutch phrase nieuwe beelding, which also means “new form” or “new image.”
