Piet Who?

Mondrian of course! Piet Mondrian is one of the most renowned abstract artists to live. His work is included in numerous reputable museums (including the Louve) and appear in pop culture even to this day. As you can see on the right, Piet was a fan of the three primary colors. He almost exclusivly only used the colors white, black, yellow, red, and blue and very rarely did any shading of these colors. His strict abstract style was a pioneer to the genre that chose to incorporate an almost perfect disymmetry.

There has always been something that drew my eye to this artist and never let go. At first I passed it off as lazy half-assed "art" but later found a very deep feeling to his pieces. I believe he is an artist that you either like alot, or one that brushes you the wrong way for most everyone, and for me his pieces (like the one featured above) make me think numerous ways about them. One thought process is one of simpler times. Another is a mockery of "fine" artists, I see this as something revolutionary, orchestrating to the public that there is more than one mold for an artist to fill.
