composition in red yellow blue and black piet mondrian

composition in red yellow blue and black piet mondrianIn this square format work, Piet Mondrian thwarted the pre eminence of the center by drowning it in the color red, when a right angle, the point of fixation of the gaze, was shifted to the bottom right. The lines delimit the planes of color and only reach the edges once, leaving the colors (red, yellow and gray) to anchor the composition in the plane. In the same style, Mondrian also painted Composition A and Composition II in red, blue and yellow.
