, Lawrence, Paris and London, etc more than ten places live painting, later moved to New York, greatly expand the creation field, to produce a great impact on the architecture, technology and design. Mondrian pioneered the geometric abstract painting, and the fort's groups such as "style", advocate their own art "new model". Don't think art should be separated from the external form of the nature and to present the abstract spirit, for the purpose of pursuing people unity with god's absolute level, that is, today we known as "pure" abstract. Mondrian early New Year pictures too realistic characters and scenery, has simplified the trees form into horizontal and vertical line of purely abstract, from the introspection of perception and art, to create the beauty of the common order and balance. He worshipped linear beauty, advocated through rectangular can watch all internal peace.

introduction
1910 years later, the mondrian began to worship cubism. At the end of 1911, the nearly 40 years old artist came to Paris leave the country. When the cubism from analysis on the comprehensive stage, he was attracted by analysis of pie. When his favorite subject is trees, sand, sea, church, and a windmill, all these are closely related to his familiar the Netherlands environmental. In the picture "the gray tree," he put the expressivity of van gogh, brutalist colour of descriptive and French art nouveau movement of the linear pattern is melt in a furnace, making it a picture of a type, modelling are strong, but is still highly original work. This painting in 1912, 78 * 107 cm, now the Hague case of Westminster (Gemcente) museum. In 1912, mondrian had fallen into a face structure of cubism. In his first few years in Paris, by pablo Picasso, cuny's analytical cubism, on colour grey, green, ochre and 3 kinds of color only. Still, even in the richest cubist paintings, he also insisted on pure positive form. He seldom painted object or inclined plane with a sculptural projection, only the scarp or sculptural projection has made France the cubist works exactly and limited three-dimensional entity. Mondrian, though keen to principle of cubism, he has super gauge the moment, neither the subject, also don't pursue three-dimensional visual sense of depth.
Gray tree
Then he goes beyond the cubism, painting trees or houses were almost all thread to form, image trace disappeared, leaving only the maze of line, is one of the bones are displayed highly analysis work. In the context of the plastic arts and the pure plastic arts said: "I feel truly 'pure' can express through pure modelling, and the pure modelling in nature should not be restricted by subjective feelings and representation of..." Obviously, he is not satisfied to cubism, because it can't achieve "pure". In 1913, he began to colorific experiment. In mondrian's theory emphasizes "pure" and "pure" modelling, summarized the mondrian's lifelong pursuit, so to speak. For him, simple modeling technique of expression, means that the unification of the shape and color. Lyrical, painted, or sing, he thought, beauty is a kind of game or escape, it depicts the beauty and harmony of the ideal is a kind of ideas. It out, so it is to stay out of life. So, how do you make the modelling of "pure" to "pure" really? Mondrian said: "the real shape of reality, to balance the mechanics to achieve inside. The new plastic arts show that human life, although often succumb to the time and not harmonious, but it is still based on balance." If you put this theory embodied, namely in the modelling art, only through the shape and color of electromotive force balance to express "pure".
Mondrian in 1917 with otto van tucci fort (1883-1931), bart van DE lake (1876 ~ 1958) founded three people named "style" (DeStijl) community, and launched a magazine with the same name for the group, thus constituted headed by his abstract art theory system. The plastic arts and the modelling of pure art that article is marked the establishment of his abstract art theory, because he has repeatedly mentioned: "the first and basic rule of abstract art, is the art of balance". His abstract paintings ruled out any curve. Screen color piece is inseparable from the right Angle. In 1921 the composition of a picture to help us understand the essence of this theory. Painting 61 * 50 cm, owned by Mr Rick, s. b. perrier's collection in the history. Mondrian himself said: "I step by step to exclude the curve, until I do

Article finally made up of straight line and horizontal line only, form the cross, their separation to separate each other,... A straight line and horizontal line is the performance of the two opposite forces; The balance of this kind of contradictory exist everywhere, controlling everything. "He from large and small, the original color piece and the combination of the rectangular rectangular shape for the so-called" balance table, personality and mass balance, the balance of natural and spiritual, material and consciousness of "and so on. All this in order to advocate the spirit of an extreme abstract, and that art should be completely separated from the external form of the natural and should be the pursuit of" absolute realm ". So people gave him this kind of abstract painting features a derisively called, called "cold abstract", to distinguish it from and his contemporaries, the other a Russian art characteristics of the abstract painters kandinsky. Many of the things in the world is having often, this kind of "balance" theory of mondrian, on his painting is not so exciting, but in furniture design, decorative arts, and will cause the attention of the world "international style" of architectural design, has been fully play. In fact, "style" members of many architects, strive to innovation in mondrian's theory has made the new exploration. Under the influence of its significance in modern architectural history is cannot afford it.
In addition, mondrian content with 1916, met the Dutch philosopher shoon Angela merkel (Schoen - maekers). The man on the philosophy to promote the new system of Plato, self-proclaimed "positive mysticism", or called "mathematical modelling. Su told the two unrelated interpretation of terms for the following: "modelling mathematics from the creator's point of view, means that the real methodical thinking; as for the so-called positive law of 'creation' of mysticism is: we now study the transform we imagined reality into can be controlled by reason

Structure, in order to later in the 'a' natural reality to rediscover the same structure, which relies on visual modelling to art into the nature. "Su that the theory of mathematical modelling, there are many details to mondrian's monologues, therefore also admired for his. And his theory of almost can be directly used to indicate the shape of the mondrian structure. It serves to show mondrian with su, happened to constructivism painting the artist later. In Western Europe in the middle of the 20th century modern architecture completely out of its classical architecture concept, will art from the mondrian this balance theory.
Since then, he has no physical eyes saw, and limit the painting language in the most basic factors: linear, rectangular, three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and three primary colors (white, grey, black), says the painting for neoplasticism. Since 1917, he drew a lot of this kind of work, questions about each other. "Red, blue, yellow composition", it made in 1930, there are 51 cm square, owned by New York private (MrandMrs ArmandP, Bartos) collection.
The background that
Mondrian and Dutch "style", as a kind of art movement, is not limited to painting. It was built
Piet Mondrian works
Building, furniture, decorative art and printing industry have a certain influence. In fact, many members in "style" is the positive activists in the field of art. Mention mondrian, we immediately think of the different specifications of the rectangular grid. Some art critics say is only applicable to the works of Mongolia, print AD design, furniture and architectural decoration, far from the word "painting". This criticism is abstract, because it left The Times characteristics, mondrian don't think so at that time, he step by step onto road geometry of abstract painting composition, is along the cubism and futurism simplification of the structure.
