Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was one of the most brilliant pioneers of abstract art, who dared to explore previously unknown realms of spatial expression, leading to 'pure abstraction'. This book traces his move from figurative to non-figurative art and creates the cultural and intellectual background against which his sense of mission unfolded. Included are three interviews with the artist, an illustrated chronology with excerpts from his letters, and a select bibliography.
