Drink Mondrian. Design and Art: Pete Mondrian

Piet Mondrian Self-Portrai 1900

Dutch artist, who at the same time as Kandinsky and Malevich laid the beginning of abstract painting. Its paintings, which are a combination of rectangles and lines, are an example of the most strict, uncompromising geometric abstraction in modern painting.
Pete was born in a family with strict Calvinist convictions. After leaving the father's house, Pete goes to learn from art in Amsterdam, where in 1892-1894 attends the Austgan Academy of Arts and lives in the atmosphere of the ongoing and ordered elite.
The first works of Mondrian were written in realistic style. He started a drawing teacher in elementary school, early work - landscapes of Holland in the spirit of impressionism.

Pit Mondaian half a dozen years old wrote multilateral landscapes, captured the lines and clouds, windy mills, channels, and everything attempts, well-known to each visitor museums on countless cars of Dutch landscape players of many centuries.
In May 1909, Mondrian joined the Dutch branch of the theosophical society.

In 1910, Mondrian makes a walking trip to the papid, where he gets at the time of AvangaDists.
In the autumn of 1911, at the exhibition of Cubists in Amsterdam, he meets the work of Picasso and Marriage, and it had a great influence on the formation of a young artist.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, in Europe, they already declared themselves about themselves, still naive, but the complete strengths of avant-giving flows. In Holland, it was possible and not to notice the conscientious artistic pebble, but the artists advised Mondaan not to sit in her quiet stop, but to go to the passage - the then the capital of the arts and thoughts.

In the spring of 1912, Mondrian moves to Paris and starts working in the "High Cubism" manner.

He refuses his paintings from the slightest hints of the plot, the atmosphere, modeling and spatial depth and gradually consciously limited expressive means. In 1914, there were first completely blunt canvas of a forty-tech artist.
In the same year, the artist returns to Holland to his father, who was at death, and remains at home throughout World War II.
At the end of 1915, the Impregnated experiments of Mondrian found a response among young artists Teo Van Dusburg (1883-1931) and Bart Van der Leka, Architect Uda, as well as the Russian constructivist Ale Lisitsky (1890-1947), trying to find synthesis of painting with modern architecture.
Mondrian came close to Van Dosburg and founded together with him in 1917, "De Stijl), which also entered, Ritveld and Van Ester.
They also created and edited the artistic journal of the same name. Mondaian and his like-minded people considered themselves the classics of the twentieth century and the name "Nebolasticism" should be given to their pressure. Mondrian writes manifestos, the need for the need for an additional geometrical delight in art.
During these years, the artist built compositions based on a freely designed and filling spatial mesh canvas. At the same time, Mondrian writes his next self-portrait in a realistic manner.

In 1919 the artist went to Paris again, where he lived until 1938.
By 1920, Mondrian style was fully formed. The artist scrupulously and consistently developed a non-fugitive direction of painting. During the last last, the most fruitful years of their life, he holy over the canvas, Pazghed them on the triggers and quads and walked the resulting geometrical fields, then intensely ones, then lightweight and prickly shades of white, sepo, beige or bluish. I think the pairs of paintings will be enough to imagine the abstract creativity of the artist.

Urges and the sequence of Mondriana are returned by exhibitions, which in the 20s make it famous in the FPANCE, in Holland and throughout the MIP.
In 1921, an exhibition of Monda was held in a share, which received a great resonance, and in 1926 - an exhibition in the BPUKLIN Museum of New YoP.

In one of the last works of the artist - Bougie-Vui on Broadway (New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art), there was a tendency to depart from the strict classical principles of avant-garde. In this work, small squares are located dotted line on the lines grid, which gives the whole composition a new syncopic complexity and playfulness of the rhythm.

A lot of articles are written about how art and design correlated and a lot of words are written. Read the design of art, or not? And, the same, most design theorists agreed on what - yes, count!
There is even such a direction as art design. Objects, related to it, little and functional and controversial, but as a rule, quickly become the object of collectibles and rapidly grow in price.
And, of course, great artists always inspired designers to create a variety of design objects.

Pete Mondrian is definitely one of the brightest artists of the 20th century, one of the founders of abstractionism and theoretics of new art influenced the design, like no other.
Its perfect geometric abstractions perfectly fall on the surface of any items that instantly resemble from a boring utilitarian object - to the heights of the art object, as well as the object of admiration and lust.

Whether they are not quite acuting today, the price of a few remaining originals is shrinking!
And this is already the creations of modern Fashion designers ...

In 1926, Mondrian drew a sketch of the interior of the room of the future, as he represented it. 25 years later, the New York Gallery The Pace embodied the artist's idea, creating this room in the original color scheme of the artist.
Sketch...

Embodiment...

However, if you start at the very beginning, I was at first a chair was one of the first, whoever accepted the ideas of neoplasticism (the "" -motes' droplet) and the De Style group, which I founded M., became Gerrit Retremeld, which in 1917 created The famous "Red-Blue Chair", which subsequently became an icon of constructivism.

His authorship House Schröder in Utrecht, who can be contemplated in this cartoon also resembles a three-dimensional painting of Mondriana.

By the way, in St. Petersburg, on the car wash (this is the river) for a long time there was a house-box painted in the style of Mondrian, now he was already demolished.

And this is the chair "The Charles" for Moooi of my favorite Marseille Wanders, too, by the way, the Dutchman, the chair is old, but the upholstery-dedication to Mondriana is completely fresh, if not mistaken just been presented in Milan Salon.

Will there be a special boosch, cooked in this kitchen - here is the question?

And if you are an esthete, then maybe you will be more pleasant to carry out water treatments in such a bathroom? And, work in such an office?

If you are sharply lacking for art in the interior of your home, or office is a painter tape and several cans of paint - and a couple of hours of work. And so, you are the wall owner-in the style of Mondriana. Speected and unproken!
Pop culture also did not remain without the influence of the artist ...

Furniture, bags, pillows, posters, games for children and even (!!!) Manicure in the style of painting Mondriana continue to march the world.
Contrast basic colors that are characteristic of M. style - it is always dramatically, which means that it cannot but cause emotions. And all that provokes strong emotions is extremely demanded today, since we are pleased and miss.
So, dear designers! If you feel the crisis of ideas - please contact the eternal - to art, and you will be glad and inspiration!
Still serving a Dutch art a - old and new

This time we go to the Zurich Art Museum in Switzerland. The museum is rightly proud of its collection of abstract painting, among which for the story on Osinka we chose the picture "Composition with the Red, Blue and Yellow" Pita Mondriana, created at the beginning of the 20th century. What does this picture mean and how to tell the child about it, read in our publication!

Children on art. Picture "Composition with red, blue and yellow", Pete Mondrian.

In the last publication, we admired the picture "Love Letter" of Vermeer Delftsky. Our new stop - in Art Museum Zurich in Switzerland. Zurich is saturated with museums, galleries, shops and truly is the heart of European life! Unique nature, the richest cultural meeting and modern club life gained Zurich international fame. It should be noted that among the 50 museums Zurich, the art museum occupies a special place. His foundations reflect the entire 2000-year history of the development of art of Europe! The museum is rightly proud of its collected abstract painting, among which we will stay at the picture "Composition with red, blue and yellow" Pita Mondrian written at the beginning of the 20th century, when the minds of the artists began to conquer a new artistic course.

The story about this picture will go in the same manner of questions and answers in which we studied the previous web. The first group of questions comes from the kids of 5-7 years, whose imagination may sometimes be put in an adult deadlock. The second group of issues is addressed to children of 8-10 years old who like to reflect and build theories. Finally, the story of the picture of adolescents over 11 years old is completed. Softly and calmly the author of the book "How to talk to the arts of art" Francoise Barb-Gall explains the value, meaning and significance of this picture for our culture. After all, no matter how primitively looks like painting at first glance, there are powerful ideas behind it, which had a tremendous effect on modern design and art!

This is a picture? And what is there to watch?

Yes, of course, the picture is true, not quite ordinary. Many artists instead of everyday life choose something more interesting and attractive - and then we see luxurious landscapes, parade portraits, plots with fantastic beings (dragons, etc.). And sometimes the artist prefers to imagine the world easier than he is. That is what Mondrian did.

What does this picture depict?

Nothing concrete. However, she encourages the viewer to think about the intentions of the artist. Suppose he did not want to depict ready-made, complete things, and showed what they could collect or build them. It looks like a game when from individual multicolored pieces make up what wanted ...

Maybe the artist did not know how to draw truly?

Nothing like this! Mondrian is perfectly owned and drawing, and painting; He knew how to draw "as it follows" and did it for many years. But it did not bring him satisfaction - he was looking for something else. Little, he removed from his paintings everything seemed to be superfluous and unnecessary.
At some point, only three colors and straight lines remained on the canvas - and the result quite satisfied the artist.

Mondrian painted on the line?

Quite possible. It is strictly verified, carefully thought out picture. It extinct the distance using the transparent paper strips, the carbon line occurred and only then took a brush.

Red, blue, yellow ... Why exactly these three colors?

These are very important colors. Mixing them in different ratio, you can get a lot of others - green, purple, orange, as well as an infinite number of shades. But at the same time, these three colors from others cannot be made. Therefore, they are called basic colors.

There is still black and white

Without black and white, it is impossible to make a color darker or lighter. Black lines organize a picture, separating the space on rectangles, various in size, stretched vertically or horizontally. White inserts create a feeling of emptiness, light, air; It is easier to breathe with them. Multicolored rectangles are saturated with color energy. So, the red can be associated with fire, blood, sunset ... Black lines give the image stability, hold it in equilibrium.

from 8 to 10

It turns out that the line and color replace the Mondriana characters

The artist truly forces them to communicate. There is something like a dialogue - they either argue or agree with each other. For example, a red square is so powerful and heavy that it could break out of the picture: it seems that it cannot be stopped, especially since the black frame does not restore it on top and right. But the horizontal cuts of the black (left at the top and right below), which are wider than the other black lines, are introduced into the picture as if on purpose in order to hold the red square in place. They seek to him: "Stand!" Do not be these short
black segments, it is unknown that I would still learn a non-smoky red ...

Why is the picture not circled with a common black line?

If the artist entered such a line, she would turn into a fence and locked the picture tightly. Mondrian does not closame space - it keeps all the colors in a free state, without limiting our field of view. Doors remain open - we can move in the picture at your discretion: enter it, slide on it, go out when I want ... After examining the picture, we may, maybe more clearly imagine the space in which we are, and forms that We are surrounded. In a sense, this is a training for the eyes and for the mind.

Picture similar to the plan of the apartment

Indeed, there is something in common. Any construction begins with a plan - for example, in terms of the apartment show, where the walls should be held, how the rooms will be located, for clarity paint them in different colors ... Plan (or project) clearly represents what we want to see as a result. According to Mondriana, painting in general is the embodiment of a reasonable start and stability.

Or maybe this is a whole house in the context?

It is quite possible: imagine a building that goes under demolition. The front wall is already destroyed, the internal layout of the house has become available to the look ... We see what was once the rooms, and in the footsteps of the painted walls or on the preserved wallpaper we can guess where there was a bedroom where a living room or a children's bedroom. In these empty rectangles, there was not one life ... Mondrian was undoubtedly observed such scenes and knew how to feel the city as a clean form.

Or maybe a city map with streets and avenues ...

Perhaps this is also true. Approximately such outlines can be seen from a bird's eye view; No instructions on scale or dimensions. By the way, many years after the creation of this picture (and others in the same way), Mondrian got into the United States and came to a complete delight from New York. The layout of the city, with an extensive network of streets intersecting at right angles, was surprisingly similar to his paintings. This world artist immediately felt as his own.

from 11 to 13 and older

All the pictures of Mondrian look like each other

Yes, its paintings are based on the same impregnable principle, but the color ratio and the proportions of the strips and rectangles in each work. On some white, it takes almost all the space, and the canvas seems easy and serene. On other lines are destroyed, as the prison lattice rods, and the picture produces an oppressive impression - it literally wants to run away from it. Using the most simple tools, the artist knows how to awaken in the audience the widest gamut of the senses. It works like a composer who, with the help of seven notes, creates an infinite variety of melodies. No wonder our picture is called "Composition".

Write such a picture easier than

Yes, perhaps, from a technical point of view, this is not difficult. But there is another, higher level of complexity associated with meaning. Imagine the external manner of Mondriana is one thing, but put yourself in the artist's place, go back in his time, survive what he experienced, is quite another. Mondrian spent many years to work out his style. And today, when we look at his picture, we must not forget that behind this work, so deceptively simple in form, there is a whole set of ideas, thoughts, aspirations that led to its creation. Will not be exaggeration
to say that this is the work of life.

There is something mechanical in the picture

This impression is created by geometric shapes - especially when the first, a break look at the picture. It immediately feels the severity of the plan, but at the closer look at something else: for example, smears on black stripes - they seem to be slightly growing ... So the artist's hand is not so hard: he also gives back to emotions. It turns out that the lines are not simply methodically and consistently applied to the canvas - they really intersect. Mondrian, as weaver from the threads, creates the tissue of their work. We seem to see the canvas under the microscope, distinguishing the threads in the interlacing of the threads from the eyes of the painting.

How did such paintings sold?

Sell \u200b\u200bthem was not easy. Mondrian's sleeveless paintings could not enjoy wide demand: intellectual painting lovers were a bit. Nevertheless, Mondrian stubbornly walked his way: only he could express himself to the end. And for earnings, the artist wrote still lifes with flowers - Flowers were sold fine. This allowed him to keep his world, full of straight lines and clean paints, - the world that belonged only to Him. And today, we appreciate exactly the free-winged compositions of Mondriana, and the flowers that have once fed it, forgotten well.

The ideas of Mondrian penetrated our current life!

The creativity of Mondrian had an impact not only on the following generations of artists, but also on architects and designers of later periods. Now, sixty-five years after his death, this effect is manifested everywhere: in the interiors and furniture, in the book and magazine graphics, in advertising, in fashion. His painting carried a certain moral uncompromising, equilibrium, stability; Numerous copyrights of geometric compositions indicate tireless artistic searches.

The ideas of Mondrian are absorbed unnoticed at the subconscious level. Thus, the logo of the fashion line for the hair care of the company "Oreal" (L "Oreal Studio Line) is clearly suggested by the compositions of Mondrian. Together with the formal signs of his painting, the ethical and aesthetic principles of the artist also apply to the future buyer. And if the company's logo will be associated with With cleanliness, energy, constant update, then shampoos, gels and other branded products will be successful in the market. In the effectiveness of such funds it is easier to believe if there is everything that is so attractive creativity of Mondriana: the discipline, proportionality, the feeling of rhythm, Infinite freedom of combinations ...

Pete Mondrian-One of the leading masters of impressive art, the founder of the school of neoplasticism, whose art has largely influenced modern painting, architecture and design.

Pete Mondrian and his "Art of pure plastics"

XXV, offering people a huge amount of information through electronic communications, changed the amount, form and content of social contacts. Integration processes contributed to the formation of universal culture on uniform grounds. The addition of these factors led to a change in the cultural and value orientation of a person and the formation of new needs and cultural stereotypes. These changes occurred within the mass culture, the social function of which consisted in regulating the behavior of people and bringing to the uniformity of their spiritual life. The complexity of the development of artistic culture XXV was that the artistic activity was adapted in the economic, political, technical and spiritual spheres of public life, which presented to her the requirements in accordance with their interests, thus stimulating its multidirectional development.

"Red Knot" V. Kandinsky, 1936.

The art of XXV is characterized by the decay of artistic culture on many independent areas and schools, with their active search for new means of artistic expressiveness and bold experiments with form, color and composition. All avant-garde phenomena: directions, trends and schools who have broken with realistic tradition and consider experiment the basis of the creative method, unites the direction "Modern". The most extreme school of modernism was the abstractionism, which is also called impressive art.

"Mill at dusk" Pete Mondrian. 1905

The appearance of abstraction has become a natural outcome of fundamental changes in the spiritual and artistic life of XXV, which contributed to the rethinking of the formative principles of European visual arts. Abstractionism as a direction arose in several European countries in the 1910s in the process of bundle of cubism, expressionism and futurism. The founders and inspirations of abstractionism are artists V. Kadinsky, K. Malevich, P.Mondriaan, F. Butfka and R.Delone. Modern is a phenomenon with a multi-tiered hierarchy, where each is quite a large phenomenon of avant-garde art, was approved by declarations, manifestos and numerous texts. Artists-abstrasts in their different for the purposes of theoretical works and program statements identified uniting the thesis: abstractionism, as the highest step of visual creativity, creates forms inherent in art only. The "liberated" from copying reality art, abstrasts turned into a means of transmission by various visual images of an incomprehensible spiritual beginning of the universe.

"Gray Tree" Pete Mondrian. 1911

In the space of the style immediately outlined two main lines: lyric-emotional abstraction and geometric or logical. Lyric-emotional abstraction (the composition is formed from free current forms and rhythms) is represented in the work of V. Kadinsky, masters of abstract expressionism, tashism and informal art. Geometric abstraction Found an embodiment in the Suprematism of K. Malevich, the neoplasticism of P. Mondriana, Orphism R.Delone and in the work of masters of post-knowledge abstraction. The geometric abstraction is based on the expressiveness of direct and broken lines, simple geometric elements and pure planes. Especially bright geometric abstractionism manifested itself in the 1910-1930s in a number of European countries. After the emigration of modernist artists (H. Chofman, D. Albers, D. Grachem and P.Mondria) in America during World War II, geometric abstractionism was adopted by American painters and for 1940-1950 years already had a lot of diverse followers, although inferior In popularity abstract expressionism. An example of the most uncompromising and strict geometric abstraction in painting XXV serve the works of Pita Mondrian.

Triptych "Evolution" Pete Mondrian. 1911 The picture shows the "three stages of knowledge", which reflects the religious views of the artist of that period.

Peter Cornelis (Pete) Mondrian (1872-1944) was born 7mart 1872 in the family director of the small Dutch town of Amersfort. The first pite drawing lessons received from his father and uncle. Home and school art education allowed him to enroll in the Amsterdam Academy of Fine Arts (1892-1897). During studies at the Mondrian Academy wrote many portraits to order for money. His disgust to this genre, which a novice artist did not recognize and considered "nonsense," he expressed that he shot his own self-portrait. At this time, the enthusiasm of Mondrian was landscapes and still lifes, which he performed in the manner of old Dutch masters. Later, Mondrian moved away from the traditions of realistic landscape, and his short-term passion for impressionism in the so-called, "evening landscapes" brought him fame. In 1911, Mondrian took part in the Amsterdam International Exhibition of Contemporary Artists, where the works of P. Pikasso, A.Denen and J.Brak were presented. Interest in the work of Kubists prompted Mondrian to experiments in this genre: the artist began to simplify the forms and, in different ways, combining the plane of the items depicted, sought to achieve the impression of structural clarity.

"Big composition" Pete Mondrian. 1919

Gradually, the plot, recognition, spatial depth and real form disappeared from the works of Mondriana. The years of world war, the artist spent in his homeland in Holland. In 1917, Mondrian, together with the architect, the sculptor and painter, Teo Van Dusburg (1883-1931) became one of the founders of the "Style" group of artists and architects. The goal of the "style" group was the creation of forms purified from the whole random and arbitrary. The followers of Mondrian and Dusburg merged around the avant-garde magazine, named by the name of the "style" group. In the first issue of the magazine Mondrian published his article "Nebolasticism in painting", in which the term "neoplasticism" first appeared.

"Composition with red, yellow, blue and black" Pete Mondrian. 1921

Back in 1914, creating his first impreit work, Mondrian expressed confidence: "We can get rid of the oppression of the tragic circumstances of our life through a clear vision of the true reality, which exists, but bent and hidden." In all its theoretical works, Mondrian defended his belief that in the real world there are invisible, but incredibly strong spiritual energies that can be expressed only with the help of simple geometric shapes: "To express spiritual in art, you need to handle reality as much as possible, because it - The oppositeness of the spiritual. Therefore, the use of elementary forms is logical and only true. " The result of many years of creative searches for their own art handwriting was the theory of "art of pure plastics", outlined by the artist in the treatise "Nebolatoistry". Mondrian wrote; "Neo-plasticism argues justice, because the equality of plastic agents in the composition shows that everyone can be equal to among equal." The main elements of any composition of the pattern of the painting of the line and the color plane, by which Mondrian reproduces the true image of the surrounding world, independent of accidents and subjective perception, thus expressing the idea of \u200b\u200buniversal harmony.

"Consent Square" Pete Mondrian. 1938

Mondrian adhered to strict rules in the construction of the composition (its cult was equilibrium of vertical and horizontal lines) and broke with the magazine "Style" when Dosburg suggested as a new component of the expressive language angle in 45Grads. In September 1938, the anticipating war, Mondrian went to London, where he created large-scale compositions with many lines ("Trafalgar Square", 1939-1943 and the "Consent Square", 1938-1843). These works, the artist completed already in New York, where emigrated in 1940, escaped from London's bombing. America adopted Mondriana welcome: the press called the artist "one of the greatest refugees from Europe" and already in 1942 and 1943 held his two personal exhibitions in the Dyudensing Gallery. During this period, the artist created works that were built in the rhythm of the syncopes-.The city, in honor of which they are called: small squares multiplying on the lines (New York City, "Broadway. Bugi-WGOs" appeared for the transfer of rhythm in the lattice , "Victory Bugi-WGOG").

"Broadway. Bogi-Vuy "Pete Mondrian. 1942-1943.

On February 1, Mondrian died from pneumonia in New York and was buried in the cemetery in Brooklyn. People's Creativity Mondriana causes deep respect: he filled the appointment of high art with a new meaning, determining his leading role in overcoming the spiritual crisis of modern society: "A purely plastic vision of the real world should form a new type society, just as it forms new art. It will be a society based on the equilibrium of the material and spiritual, and in it will dominate the peaceful harmonious relationships. " The picturesque and theoretical heritage of Pita Mondrian largely determined the aesthetic and artistic principles of the XXVEK and influenced the development of architecture, fashion and design. In honor of Mondrian, the Piet programming language is named, the program on which is reminded by post-sigrative abstraction.
