Mondrian Re-Examined, with John Walsh

In this four-part lecture series, art historian and curator John Walsh discusses the career of the pioneer abstractionist Piet Mondrian (1892–1944). Walsh traces the artist’s origins as a Dutch realist landscape painter, his absorption of Cubism, and his visionary creation of a purely abstract art, one that Mondrian believed could lead to the betterment of individuals and society. Walsh examines major paintings in detail, showing how the artist made them and how he intended them to be seen.
