Composition II

Piet Mondrian's 'Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow' (1930) is a paradigmatic statement of his De Stijl Neoplasticism — a white canvas articulated only by a grid of heavy black lines enclosing three rectangles of primary red, blue, and yellow. Painted after his final move to Paris, the composition carries the theory he had been refining for over a decade into its most severe and balanced form. Variants of the motif are held by Tate Modern, the Kunsthaus Zürich, and MoMA.
