Piet Mondria(a)n

Mondria(a)n belongs to the canon of modern art. In the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam I saw the two top paintings exposed, in the Kunsthaus in Zürich the two bottom ones. The resemblance in choice of the two museums is striking.

Mondria(a)n’s abstract work has become so commonplace and has been violated to such an extent through commercial use on cups, clothes, wall paper and what not, that it is a delight to see his paintings in real life. A difference between death and life.
