Internationally recognized as the leading pioneer of abstract art  the founder of Neo-Plasticism  and the ideological father of the De Stijl movement  Mondrian embodied the spirit of modernism. His unmistakable grids and angular compositions expressed his desire for order and clarity amid the chaos of industrial civilization. This comprehensive collection of his essays  letters  notes  and interviews is arranged chronologically from Mondrians earliest De Stijl essays up to an interview conducted shortly before his death. The texts are complemented with a chronology  an intimate memoir by his close friend Harry Holtzman  an essay on Mondrians early writings by Martin S. James  a selective bibliography  and 254 reproductions of Mondrians paintings  works  by his contemporaries  and photographs of the artist  his family  and friends. The New Art The New Life is the definitive source for understanding the underlying principles of Mondrians art and life. Revealed in these writings is the self-denial  discipline  and patience of a man who modified the way we perceive the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651523764277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0306805081","price":115.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780306805080.jpg?v=1781835408","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-artthe-new-life-the-collected-writings-of-piet-mondrian-9780306805080","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
