Composition 10, Mondrian

Composition No.10, Piet Mondrian, 1942, Oil on Canvas, Private Collection, 79.5 x 73 cm

As though battling with a never ending Rubix Cube, Mondrian tirelessly arranged and rearranged abstract lines, in search for Universal Truth. He worked until his hands blistered, all the while denying himself the language of representational form.

Without symmetry, but pure in elements, three primary colours are pushed towards the very edge of the canvas while a complex batch of spaces in between attempt to harmonise.
