 Piet Mondrian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike the cubists, Mondrian was still attempting to reconcile his painting with his spiritual pursuits, and in 1913, he began to fuse his art and his theosophical studies into a theory that signaled his final break from representational painting.
Mondrian began producing grid-based paintings in late 1919, and in 1920, the style for which he came to be renowned began to appear.
Mondrian and his later work were deeply influenced by the Moderne Kunstkring exhibition of Cubism held in Amsterdam in 1911.

 Art Guild Lecture: Mondrian
Mondrian's painting of the ocean is not literally "oceanic" or a limitless sea as painted by most artists.
Mondrian believed that "art systematically eliminates the world of nature and man." He wanted art to be as mathematical as possible, a "blueprint for an organized life." Although all his later "grid paintings" look similar to each other, each one is precisely and differently calibrated.
Mondrian's early paintings are fairly conventional, but after 1908--when he became aware of recent and avant-garde art movements of that time (symbolism and Fauvism)-- he began to withdraw from imitation of nature.

 Mondrian in Disneyland
Mondrian describes this as "a beautiful book" in a letter he wrote to his brother on July 30 of that year; the book gave him the opportunity to publish his essay "Plastic Art and Pure Plastic Art," a project he had been working on since the end of the 1920s.
It is striking, however, that Mondrian himself saw London's influence in the composition that he made on the day he wrote his letter, just as, in 1920, he connected his arrival in Paris and the furnishings of his studio there with concurrent changes in his work.
Most likely it was the one on which he used to display his completed canvases, and which was sawn and painted in such a way that it was a work of art in itself.

 "On Mondrian" by Richard Speer, Also visit www.RichardSpeer.com
I should also note that soon after I discovered Mondrian, I realized that his art is (at least superficially) incompatible with Ayn Rand’s aesthetic treatise, The Romantic Manifesto, in which she issues a blanket condemnation of non-representational art.
By her definition of art as "the selective recreation of reality…" Mondrian’s abstraction does not qualify as art at all.
I do not concur with his views; I do not believe that a person unfamiliar with Mondrian's views regarding his art, would necessarily conclude, merely upon the basis of looking at a Mondrian canvas, that this artwork is anti-individual, collective, and therefore sympathetic to socialism.

After years of completely abstract work he abandoned the black grid to use yellow lines and red, blue, and grey colour blocks to build a representation of New York infused with all the vibrant kinetic energy of raucous road-house piano blues in 'Broadway Boogie Woogie'.
When Piet Mondrian arrived in New York in 1940, he heard the Boogie Woogie piano of Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons, and Pete Johnson, and from then on refused to dance to any other jazz, leaving the floor in a huff if the music didn't boogie.
Mondrian's geometric spirituality fuses with his ecstatic physicality when Pac-Mondrian dances around the screen while the Trinity of Boogie Woogie jazz play 'Boogie Woogie Prayer'.
