when you mentioned the horizon, i just immediately had the thought that he was trying to represent the sky (sun) with red, seas with blue, and the beach (earth) with the yellow, like a very stripped down version of a beach on which there is a sunset.

I love that. Great interpretation!

After painting impressionist type paintings for over 50 years, I have recently started painting paintings like mondrian, and I am very satisfied. Love you're channel. 💓🎨👍.

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

Mrs Alder! Than you for existing! ❤. These are my colors!

[@theartshole311]

Big fan of Mondrian, this is a great look at what makes his works so compelling, pure balance of it is amazing. There was a major exhibit of his works in Dublin recently but due to covid I couldn't get to see it, such a shame! these really are the kind of pieces you have to see in person to really get how cool they are

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Ah, I would have loved to see that exhibit! I agree that seeing them in person makes a big difference.

Thank you for the analysis...helped me understand why I like this painting. I created an outdoor semi-privacy barrier mimicking this painting using white, blue, yellow, red colored water glass set in 1"x 3" flat black wooden slats......the uneven thickness of the flat black horizontal lines/proportions turned out to be the most difficult part. It came out fairly well with the white glass being non-transparent (like the layers in the painting) but the blue/yellow/red water glass semi-transparent so the sun can shine through creating watery colors.

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Wow, that sounds amazing!

[@hamzaelghazi3120]

I just found your channel, and I'm very impressed! please keep sharing your art knowledge.

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Thanks, will do!

Very interesting video, but i had a question. Why do we think that Mondrian definitely thought blue was the color of the earth? I dont think people knew how earth looked like from the space - decades after this painting was done.

[@fatimahaly2410]

i dont understand why you have few 1oo subscribers . your way of explaining is great.

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Thank you, hopefully we will get there!

Some people are focused on things OTHER than social popularity online

[@MaricorLeusCruz]

Good analysis! Though missed to mention- the line weight, thick and thin mixed on one compilation, also speaks ‘balance’.

[@jayumble8390]

This is a fantastic analysis! Thank you!!!!

As Van Doesburg writes in "Principles of Neo-Plastic Art" (1925): "Many have the naive belief that they have completely understood a modern artwork, as such, when they have managed to identify the object that inspired the artist's subject". Neo-plasticism was abstraction taken to its extreme; it emphatically avoided representing anything in nature. Modrian felt there was an underlying universal or spiritual truth that his artwork captured.

The blue and yellow at least seem faded to me. Is this due to aging or is that pretty close to the artist's intent? Also, I wonder if the white is slightly, very subtly tinted. In more than one of Mondrian's paintings, I get the feeling that the white is very slightly blue.

I based my house design on this style! Love your videos ☺️ -Zoie

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Zoie, that is amazing, I would love to see! And thanks 😊

[@dayenuttomaya4441]

Hi, I'm from Peru. You really helped me to understand the Stijl Art and how it works. I'm just doing an architectural design based on this art for my final design submission. thnx

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Awesome, glad I could help and best of luck on your final design!

[@weihongyan]

love you lecture!!!! amazing!

[@John-wx3zn]

Thank you. You are very precious. How does asymetry produce balance? What is interesting in the piece to me is that it brings feelings of great joy when I look at it.

Tape was used

1. I wonder if trying to discern what Mondrian's intent is, is the same as trying to discern what the creator's intent was that made a rorshach test print ... 2. I've tried to figure out these Mondrian works and I think the purpose is to allow the viewer to have their own private experience... 3. I see a relationship between the red square and the blue square as something maybe similar to the relationship between god and adam in The Creation of Adam. In other words, I see a greater being (red) touching a lesser being (blue). 4. Those are my thoughts so far.

[@manjotmarahar390]

you are the best

[@bencoburn]

I'm on team yellow square

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Love it! Any particular reason???

[@bencoburn]

Idk hufflepuff I guess...

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

😂

[@kentosalazar]

i felt yellow is humans? humanity

[@bercistor9379]

bad video

[@binghamguevara6814]

That yellow is so cute. The red subsequently becomes the angry mother and the blue a coolheaded father.

[@ArtHistorywithAlder]

Love this interpretation!
