Mondrian


I said, "I want a rug that looks like something Mondrian would've done."

He said, "Who's that?"

Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was a Dutch abstract painter who founded the Neo-Plasticism movement. He is most known for his paintings of straight lines and rectangular shapes with color blocks in strictly limited colors.

  1. Not quite my thing, but I like his balanced colors.

  2. As I looked at him again I decided I don't want a Mondrian-inspired rug after all.

    Much too much white to serve as a rug in this house!
