The Netherlands has an impressive history within art thanks in the main to the Dutch Golden Age which offered some of the finest landscape painting in the world, but Piet Mondrian came much later than this high point, and his style was clearly very different to other painters who had put Dutch art on the map. Mondrian was typical of a modern artist, strong willed and confident that his own art movement would eventually make it into the mainstream as an accepted and respected art form.

Piet Mondrian paintings are fimrly in the realms of abstraction but it is important to remember that actually Mondrian covered various different styles in his early days as a young artist, before settling on a modern art style that he most preferred and would stick with for the rest of his career. This path was similar to that of Spanish painter Joan Miro and Russian Wassily Kandinsky who also settled on abstract art after years of development in which they successfully incorporated several styles into their portfolio.

The National Gallery painting above was a popular composition using Piet Mondrian's usual choices of primary and secondary colours in simple but unusual matrixes which have become instantly recognisable as Mondrian. In many examples from his career, the artist would use black lines to separate sections of colour within his composition, with reds, blues, yellows, whites and greys as his prefered colours for these objects, which would normally be squares. Mondrian Prints are very popular choices for fans of abstract contemporary art, as are art prints, giclee prints and paintings as stretched canvases.

Similarly to Kandinsky this initial mainstream art was then later replaced by a bolder, far more inventive abstract format that pushed the boundaries of art at that time in new directions. These abstract forms came in lines, squares and circles similar to those of Russian Malevich. Mondrian prints experiment constantly with the same themes once he had reached his most preferred style. The use of primary colours contrasting with whites and blacks made an immediate impression and still interest people today by seeming strangely modern still.
