Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian was a dutch modern painter in the early 1900s, who is considered one of the founders of the de stijl art movement which consisted of very basic geometric shapes and colors. Which was a rebellion that arose from the art deco movement, which was very over decorative.

His work was often simplified landscapes like the tree artwork he did, although my favorite piece was the composition with red blue and yellow which is extremely modern even now, which is a sign of a good piece that can stand the text of time. But What I think makes it stand out is that it is so simplistic and bold, that it is very eye catching, which is why I have been looking at it for my NNC survival guide. I have incorporated this style into some of my front covers like with the multicoloured jaggered tiles, which was overplayed over Connors face and the horizontal colored lines. 

   

These 2 particular pieces i did i tried to stick to very geometric shapes which i took from Mondrian to subtly influence the work. Even though i have used more bright 80's psychedelic colors and haven't used bold primary colors like the composition with red blue and yellow. I feel that the students at the college will be able to relate to it much easier. Meaning it is a stronger front cover.

Also my title has taken inspiration from mondrian with its horizontal and vertical line and geometric patterns to give it a bit more depth than just standard writing.
