After
experimenting with pointillist color and spare
seascapes, Mondrian, who believed he had been
reincarnated many times, moved to Paris and
discovered cubism, which helped him to depict
the underlying rhythm and structure of what
he saw.
Mondrian was one of the most influential 20th-century
artists. His theories of abstraction and simplification
not only altered the course of painting but
also exerted a profound influence on architecture,
industrial design, and the graphic arts. Mondrian
died in New York on February 1, 1944.
