Title: Tableau I (Painting I)
Painter: Piet Mondrian
Painted in: 1921
Piet Mondrian's "Tableau I (Painting I)" is an abstract painting that is part of his famous "Neo-Plasticist" series. The work shows a composition of lines and shapes in primary colours, along with white, black and grey. The composition is symmetrical and uses the elements of artificial geometry to direct the viewer's attention to the centre. Reminiscent of modern architecture, it shows how Mondrian was trying to understand and represent the world around him. It is an impressive work that shows the power of abstract art.
