Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist famous for his iconic Composition series of grid paintings composed of black lines, white grounds, and primary colors. In Broadway Boogie-Woogie (1942–1943), Mondrian represented New York’s streets as a series of squares and lines in an attempt to capture the rhythmic vitality of the city. “I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects,” he once reflected. Born Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan on March 7, 1872 in Amersfoort, Netherlands, the artist studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. PROVENANCE: Central European estate
