Mondrian: Paris, and a Better World
In the second of a four-part lecture series, art historian and curator John Walsh discusses the career of the pioneer abstractionist Piet Mondrian (1892–1944). Cubism suggested new possibilities for representing the visual world, which Mondrian explored, step by step, on the way to his own radical solution.
