Despite being well-known, often-parodied and even trivialized, Piet Mondrian's paintings exhibit a complexity that belies their apparent simplicity.
Typical of his art are compositions employing only vertical and horizontal lines at 90° angles and using only the primary colors and sometimes grays or black against a white background. Sensuality, three-dimensionality, and representation are utterly eliminated from his works, as is the curved line. Within these restrictions, his paintings are executed with consummate perfection of design and craft.
