Piet Mondrian, source of part of the name of this site, was a Dutch painter whose works (specifically the later bits) sing to me. Of course, “Mondrian” is also just a really great name and sticks in my head. But still, the artist deserves his due. So here, dear friends, are a couple of links to things Mondrian-y…
- The Artchive’s entry on Mondrian. Includes biographical/critical text from David Sylvester.
- The Artcyclopedia’s entry on Mondrian. Includes a boatload of links to Mondrian works online.
- The Mondrimat – a fabulous flash “game” where you can play Mondrian and make your own fabulous works.
- Mondrian – “An applet to randomly generate modern art in the style of Piet Mondrian.”
- And finally, the obligatory wikipedia entry.
Sometimes Mondrian’s works make my head hurt. But a lot of the time I find them soothing. That’s probably the two halves of my brain at war with one another. See, I tend to come out ~50/50 on online right/left brain tests, so I guess it’s only right that Mondrian intrigues me.
And that is your art history/yongi psychology lesson for the day.
Class dismissed.
