     Piet Mondrian was born on 7th March 1872 in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
     From a very young age, Piet Mondrian was exposed to art. His father was a qualified art instructor and his
    uncle was an artist.
     Piet Mondrian became a primary school teacher and he painted in his spare time.
     His early paintings were mainly landscapes, featuring fields, rivers and windmills.
     Mondrian moved to Paris in 1911. He was immediately influenced by the Cubist style of Picasso and Braque,
    and his work started to incorporate more geometric shapes, moving away from being purely naturalistic.
     Piet Mondrian returned to the Netherlands for the duration of the First World War. He met the artist Bart
    van der Leck, who only used primary colours in his paintings. Mondrian started to develop his own painting
    theory and style.
     After WW1, Mondrian returned to Paris and he began to produce the grid-based abstract paintings for
    which he is best known.
     Mondrian left Paris in 1938 to escape the inevitable advance of the Nazis. He moved to London and then to
    Manhattan.
     In Manhattan, Mondrian started to develop a new technique using pieces of paper tape to create small
    rectangles of colour.
     Piet Mondrian died on 1st February 1944. He had pneumonia.
    HIS FAMOUS PAINTINGS

    In the early phases of its genesis, the two 1942 drawings in the Newman
    Collection.

     Victory Boogie-Woogie, a painting that Mondrian conceived in


    expectation of victory in World War II and that remained unfinished by
    reason of his death on February 1, 1944, adds immeasurably to the
    innovations of his American period.

      New York City I, in 1942or rather the series of works later brought

    together under the title New York City, marks the beginning of a new

    phase in Mondrian's work Moderna Unstring in Amsterdam.
