Mondrian

" The path Mondrian followed was exceptional for a painter, and his work was an exceptional achievennent in modern art. The man who contributed to the creation of this work went beyond the boundaries set to the painting of his time; but he did even more than that. He pointed out a new function of painting and his pictures made visible for the spectator the new function of art and the new vision of the world."

PIET MONDRIAN, 1931
MONDRIAN considers that art is the ultimate possibility of fully expressing the real. Together with philosophical exercise and spiritual concentration, art is a last chance in defending the conquests of culture and civilization. As a complete spiritual activity, art — with Mondrian — is tantamount to value. Nevertheless the absolutization of the role of art is a temporary solution — the artist himself admits it. Once having merged with existence, it is the latter which will take over all the attributes of value. This is the goal Piet Modrian tried to attain, and the path he mapped out was the path traced by an artist; it never goes beyond the stage of an image and it should be regarded as such. Vissza
