Piet Mondrian (1877-1944), was a Dutch painter.  Although he is best known for his abstract paintings made from squares and rectangles, Piet Mondrian started out painting impressionistic landscape paintings.  Mondrian called his style of geometric abstracts “Neoplasticism”.  When Mondrian made his paintings, he would always mix his own colors, never using the paint directly out of a tube.  As a founder of the "De Stijl" school, he often used black, white and the primary colors: red, yellow and blue.  Mondrian's skill was precise, and he did not use a ruler to measure out his lines.  In 1940, towards the end of his life, Mondrian moved to New York City, and there created some of his most iconic works.  Music, in particular Boogie Woogie and Jazz, became great influences in Mondrian’s work, as exemplified in "Broadway Boogie-Woogie" and "Foxtrot A".  He is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.  "Foxtrot A" is in the permanent collection of the Yale University Art Gallery.
