0004. Broadway Boogie-Woogie

CornTown

on Feb. 1, 2010

By Piet Mondrian (1872-1944)
Circa 1942-43
De Stijl (Neoplasticism)

One of the last works created by Mondrian, Broadway Boogie-Woogie is meant to display a grid of New York City and the movement of the city streets. This work while only having five colors (Red, blue, yellow,white, and black) is a lot since most of Mondrians paintings only consisted of three colors.
