Squares, lines, colors: this abstract linear approach to art helped the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) gain fame around the world. Mondrian, who, many art historians would argue, was the inventor of the abstract, would have turned 150 this year, according to the German News Agency.
To mark this jubilee, the museum with the world’s largest collection of Mondrian works is now honoring the artist with a major exhibition.
