Piet Mondrian (Dutch - Artist)
March 7, 1872 - February 1, 1944
Reality only appears to us tragical because of the disequilibrium and confusion of its appearances.
Just as pure abstract art is not dogmatic, neither is it decorative.
Art is the path to being spiritual.
True Boogie-Woogie I conceive as homogeneous in intention with mine in painting: destruction of melody, which is the equivalent of destruction of natural appearance, and construction through the continuous opposition of pure means - dynamic rhythm.
It has become progressively clearer that the plastic expression of true reality is attained through dynamic movement in equilibrium. Plastic art affirms that equilibrium can only be established through the balance of unequal but equivalent oppositions.
Everything is expressed through relationship. Colour can exist only through other colours, dimension through other dimensions, position through other positions that oppose them. That is why I regard relationship as the principal thing.
I think that the destructive element is too much neglected in art.
It is not important to make many pictures but that I have one picture right.
The rhythm of relations of color and size makes the absolute appear in the relativity of time and space.
The position of the artist if humble. He is essentially a channel.
