Apparently Modrian (Modriaan) created the Modrian squares puzzle, whereby you have to cover a canvas 64 (cm) square with non-overlapping, uniquely shaped rectangles, subtracting the areas of the largest rectangles from the smallest rectangles to get as low a 'score' as possible. Mathematicians have discovered there is no formula for this - it is pure intuition or trial by error, thereby making it more of an art riddle than a science one. Not just squares after all.

gorgeous!

[@kayem3824]

The great thing about real art is that nothing can be said about it.

[@choiscolor5290]

I love mondrian's idea. good♥

[@streetcarjay]

Every time I see a Mondrian original. I think of the Partridge family.

[@hansolo2121]

His greatest leap forward did not come in Paris but in The Netherlands when he moved back to The Hague from Paris during WW1 and became associated with Dutch avant garde movement De Stijl. That is where he had his real breakthrough and created his definative style. In The Netherlands. Not Paris.

I really like Mondrian's work, but I am "madly" in love with this beautiful lady! Now "that" is real art...

[@ranjanjoshi3454]

Excellent video thanks

[@AudiobookLibrary24-7]

Wonderful!

[@CJ-fh5xq]

Yoooooo I remember doing this art back in Middle School art class. Lmao I guess we got the inspiration from this guy.

[@rinoaheartilly4769]

What is the lovely music?? Does anyone know? Sounds like something right out of final fantasy

[@robertarisz8464]

Mondriaan pioneered abstract art? I love and am inspired by his work. But what about Hilma Af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, and Wassily Kandinsky? Piet was one of the greats but was not the first one to show up to the party.

Excelente!

[@artistdigvijaysinhrana5453]

Nice work

[@sureshshenoy6393]

Amazing

[@Langkowski]

Imagine if he had lived a decade or two longer, and what direction his art could have taken.

[@utleychase7]

I feel free. Mentally organized. Yet, i feel no emotional attachment. It just feels right.

[@paulrouhan7288]

I guess the emotional frenzy was inside. He attempted to regulate it, with an external painterly solution.

I learned this in school When I was 7

[@jiikmikjhalak9755]

wow :)

[@AudiobookLibrary24-7]

Really nice!

[@craigamo3228]

Amazing. Contrary to the common belief these are just squares, this art touches the soul. Interpretation is self evident.

Looks great

Who the paintings or the woman

[@nicheman3612]

In a chaotic, fragmented, often vindictive world, surely it makes sense that an artist might want to create art that is simple and universal and almost innocent, no? Some of you need to get over the fact there are a bunch of us who really like this guy's art even though "you could have painted it in school"! That's the point!

[@exxrray]

If many children could do it in school then what in the world makes it famous in any area of art. Get a life nerd.

[@marcionphilologos5367]

British people do not understand that Mondrian expressed in his paintings the synthetic philosophy of the great English philosopher Herbert Spencer.

[@hansolo2121]

@MARCION PHILOLOGOS Actually ... no. Mondrian is Dutch. Mondrian was influenced heavily by his native Dutch movement De Stijl. And also by his own unique vision. For me Mondrian is one of the most typically 'Dutch' artists ever. His art could have only come from a Dutch man born and raised in Dutch culture.

[@marcionphilologos5367]

@@hansolo2121 Mondrian was a typical Dutch bourgeois of the early 20th century, but his art was modern......

I wish I could become rich and famous by drawing a few lines and squares

[@bigcirkus306]

Dynamic equilibrium ...radiate tension ad energy... ...lack of conformity... ...black bands running across the canvas in sequence which with some of the colors loose from their cages work together in time and out of time always like a jazz syncopated beat these final paintings mark the end of an extraordinary career of a man of a????.modernity in a hope for a better future. I can not find the meaning of those words. No matter how hard I try, I can not find any meaning or sense in those paintings. Absolut absurd.

[@TheMjphoto45]

I can do that. I'm lost. Anyone can paint these squares
