Today we continue our special month with the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum's collection. :)  Enjoy!

Mondrian began as a painter of landscapes in muted tones. His mature style comprised compositions of black horizontal and vertical lines and blocks of white, grey and the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. The absolute harmony he sought reached beyond art alone. He wrote: "Art is only a substitute as long as the beauty of life is deficient. It will disappear in proportion as life gains an equilibrium."
