Piet Mondrian is a Dutch painter, most famous for his Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red. His most famous quote states: "I construct lines and color combinations on a flat surface, in order to express general beauty with the utmost awareness. Nature (or, that which I see) inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation (still just an external foundation!) of things…I believe it is possible that, through horizontal and vertical lines constructed with awareness, but not with calculation, led by high intuition, and brought to harmony and rhythm, these basic forms of beauty, supplemented if necessary by other direct lines or curves, can become a work of art, as strong as it is true." If you have never seen this print or heard of this artist, you have been under a rock. This painting has inspired many items in the fashion world and will more than likely remain a classic for a lifetime. Do your research!

UTP inspired me originally for this topic when he had to do a paper on inspiring art.
