From Naturalism To Abstraction |
|
|
|
PARIS.- In Paris this month, the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian is the subject of an exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay. Piet Mondrian did not just like farms; he loved them. In fact he was so excited by rustic landscapes that he did not paint anything else for the first four years of his career. However, in 1912 the Dutch naturalist journeyed to Paris, where the whirl of the bohemian life and artistic experimentation had a lasting impression. Once there, Mondrian abandoned his fidelity to logical methods, making emotional experience his new master. This transition period (1912-18) is the focus of the Musée d’Orsay’s new Mondrian exhibition, Mondrian - The Paths Towards Abstraction. It is a detailed chronology of the artist’s progression during his time in the French capital. The meticulous captions describing Mondrian’s flirtation with new styles and techniques are an invaluable aid to the visitor. Mondrian would reinvent a motif up to 15 times, which allows you to trace the progression of lowlier works into the masterpieces we know today. From modest sketches to explosions of color, the exhibition takes you full circle in Mondrian’s experimentation to a final room of Cubist landscapes. The museum has produced a perfect mix of education and appreciation, and the exhibition leaves you intrigued by a painter of such eclectic vision.
