| book description |

Originally published in Dutch to accompany a 2014 exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (now Kunstmuseum Den Haag), this important survey of a pivotal period in the life of Piet Mondrian is now available in English. Drawn to the Cubist work of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, Mondrian spent two years in Paris, from 1912 to 1914, that led him to begin experimenting with an entirely original abstract style. Using a cubist palette of grey and ochre, the artist transformed the landscapes and architectural facades of his earlier figurative works into compositional structures of increasing complexity and abstraction. Upon his return to the Netherlands in 1914, the artist exhibited the 17 works he had painted during those two significant years in France. This volume maps Cubismâ€™s influence on artists working in the Netherlands at that time, and demonstrates Mondrianâ€™s central role in bridging the gap between the French Cubists and their Dutch contemporaries. Accompanying over 300 illustrations â€“ including close details of key works â€“ is a chronology by Mondrian expert Hans Janssen tracking the artist's development within the context of its time.
