Composition with Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, and Gray, Piet Mondrian

"Composition with Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, and Gray" by Piet Mondrian is an iconic artwork that embodies the essence of the De Stijl movement. This canvas print represents one of the most famous abstract compositions by the Dutch artist, characterized by straight lines and primary colors.

What it represents

The painting depicts a series of rectangles and squares arranged harmoniously, separated by thick black lines. Each section is filled with one of the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) or with neutral tones such as white, black, and gray. This geometric arrangement reflects Mondrian's pursuit of balance and order, eliminating any reference to natural forms or recognizable objects.

The colors used

The colors used in the painting are fundamental to understanding Mondrian's aesthetics. Red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors that, together with white, black, and gray, create a strong and balanced visual contrast. The black lines act as outlines, clearly defining each colored space and helping to create a sense of structure and stability.
