Complete Mondrian

the long version

"Complete Mondrian is an accessible visual companion to the complete work of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), one of the most important figures in the development of abstract art." "Drawing on the Mondrian catalogue raisonni, the book reproduces all of Mondrian's works in a single volume, with key caption information. The organisation of the illustrations into major chronological periods gives the reader an immediate visual impression of the development of Mondrian's work from the early naturalistic paintings of the 1890s, through the more experimental, Neo-Impressionist work of the early twentieth century, to the abstract grid paintings for which he is best known." "The book also highlights the range of media in which Mondrian worked, encompassing drawings, prints and three-dimensional works as well as paintings." "With over three hundred major works reproduced in colour, and over a thousand in black and white, this is a key reference book for specialists and enthusiasts alike."--Jacket.
