庆祝蒙德里安从荷兰风景画家到充满活力、线条硬朗的抽象艺术先驱的历程

《蒙德里安的演变》出版于这位荷兰艺术家150周年诞辰之际，旨在颂扬皮特·蒙德里安多面的作品及其艺术发展。这位艺术家凭借其几何构图在艺术史经典中奠定了地位，其特点是黑色线条映衬在白色背景上，背景上部分填充着蓝色、红色和黄色这三种原色。尽管这些构图令人印象深刻，但它们仅构成蒙德里安广泛作品中的一部分。在形成其标志性的极简抽象风格之前，这位艺术家经历了多种形式上的演变，这与他在不同地区的居住经历相对应。在接受了具象绘画的古典训练后，蒙德里安前往巴黎，在那里他沉浸在为这座城市注入活力的先锋艺术潮流中；尤其是立体主义，激发了他的想象力。蒙德里安以这一艺术运动为起点，发展出了新造型主义——一种非具象的“纯粹造型艺术”，他认为这是通往普遍美的途径。

这本专著悉心追溯了这位艺术家从风景画家到抽象主义先驱的发展历程——以及其间的所有阶段。每一章都聚焦于蒙德里安作品中的一个特定主题，包括风车、沙丘、大海、水中倒映的农场以及各种抽象形式的植物。

Celebrating Mondrian's journey from Dutch landscape painter to pioneer of lively, hard-edged abstraction

Published on the occasion of the Dutch artist’s 150th birthday, Mondrian Evolution celebrates the multifaceted work and artistic development of Piet Mondrian. The artist cemented his place in the art historical canon with his geometric compositions characterized by black lines cast against white surfaces partially filled by the primary colors blue, red and yellow. Indelible as they are, these compositions comprise only a portion of Mondrian’s expansive oeuvre. The artist moved through various formal evolutions, corresponding to his various geographical residences, before he arrived at his signature minimalist abstract style. After his classical training in figurative painting, Mondrian departed for Paris, where he immersed himself in the avant-garde currents energizing the city; Cubism, in particular, stimulated his imagination. Taking the movement as a point of departure, Mondrian developed Neo-Plasticism, a nonrepresentational “pure plastic art,” which he believed to be the pathway to universal beauty.

This monograph diligently traces the artist’s progression from landscape painter to abstractionist trailblazer―and all the stops in between. Each chapter homes in on a specific motif within Mondrian’s oeuvre, including windmills, dunes, the sea, farms reflected in the water and plants in various forms of abstraction.
