"The extraordinary and surprising life of Piet Mondrian, whose unprecedented geometric art revolutionized modern painting, architecture, graphic art, fashion design, and more--from acclaimed cultural historian Nicholas Fox Weber. In the early 1920s, surrounded by the roaring streets of avant-garde Paris, Piet Mondrian began creating what would become some of the most recognizable abstract paintings of the twentieth century. With rectangles of striking primary colors against a stark white background, this was geometric abstraction in its purest form. These revolutionary compositions exhilerated, intoxicated, confused, and enraged the international public--and changed the course of modern art forever. Now Mondrian emerges alongside his thrilling art. Here is the life of an elusive modern master: from his youth in a religious household in the Netherlands, where he first began painting Dutch farmhouses and sand dunes; to his move to Paris, where he embraced the work of Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, and Paul Cézanne; to the 1920s and onward, where, having survived the turmoil of two world wars and embracing a rapidly shifting culture, Mondrian challenged the concept of art and invented a new world of undiluted colors and rhythmic straight lines. His work would go on to affect painting, architecture, fashion, and design for decades to come. Here is also an intimate portrait of a complex artist, his solitude and avoidance of intimacy, his eccentricities and his philosophy, his passion for ballroom dancing, and his unwavering belief in art as a vehicle to reveal universal truths."--
