Our inspirations
Our inspirations for our new investment: Na Skale Luxury Flats. The artist we would like to introduce to you on this occasion is Piet Mondrian. He is one of the artists who left their significant mark on many areas of the 20th century art, including architecture. Piet Mondrian, actually Pieter Cornelius Mondriaan, was born in 1827 in a modest Calvinist family in the Netherlands. The love for art had run in his family for many years. His father was a professor of drawing and his uncle - a painter. No wonder Piet also decided to link his future to art. He was a teacher of drawing by education, and he worked in this profession for a short time. However, he quickly discovered that his real fascination was paining. For a longer period of time, Piet earned his living paining portraits and landscapes, but it didn't give him much pleasure. One day, he even placed his works all over his garden and practiced shooting with his friend, aiming at some of his portraits. At one moment however, Mr. van den Briel who accompanied Mondrian in this game didn't let the artist, who was also a great shooter, to change one of his first portraits into Swiss cheese. Failure to obtain a scholarship at the Fine Arts Academy in Rome made the prospective landscaper break with the so-far art canons and get closer to avant-garde. He went to Paris, where he removed one "a" letter from his name as a symbol of his metamorphosis. During his numerous travels across Europe, he met on his way outstanding painters, thanks to whom he could shape his own style, which was later called “neoplasticism”. This trend is based on geometrical abstractions, mostly vertical and horizontal lines crossing at the right angle and a play of colours: yellow, sky-blue and red which symbolize the matter, as well as black and white which stand for space. At the beginning of World War II, Mondrian's friend invited him to New York. The artist met there leading surrealist emigrants, including Max Ernst. In 1944 Fritz Glazer – a painter and at the same time Mondrian’s best friend, found him seriously ill in his own flat. Despite immediate transportation to hospital, Piet Mondrian died of pneumonia and two days later was buried on the cemetery in Brooklyn.
