Piet Mondriaan is forever known in history as the artist who created the iconic elementary color field paintings. What many don’t realize though is that when he started creating signature paintings by 1920, he’d already been a figurative artist for 30 years. From starting his career as a landscape painter in the Netherlands to becoming one of the most coveted abstraction artists in the world, it’s time to explore the life, legacy, and art of this legendary Dutch painter.
Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the artistic legacy of Piet Mondriaan, and how an ordinary Dutch 19th century landscape artist was swept up in a new wave of idealistic modernists — impacted by WWI — and forged his way to become a unique visionary of abstract art.
Led by Dutch art historian, museum guide, and New York Adventure Club lecturer Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff, this virtual journey through a range of portraits and genre paintings surrounding the career of Piet Mondriaan will include:
- Piet Mondriaan’s early life and artistic output, including the people that influenced him and details surrounding his true personality according to friends and family
- Unique works hardly ever seen outside of the Netherlands including those produced while living in Paris, London, and New York
- How his path of self discovery, spirituality, and strong beliefs in a new world order fit within the historical, religious, and socio-economic background of early 19th century Europe
- His many artistic trials and errors in becoming an abstractionist
- Explanation of the iconography and meaning of his abstracted work
Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Mariska — any and all questions about Mondriaan are welcomed and encouraged!
