| book description |

Windmills, Foxtrot and Yves Saint-Laurent Pivotal in modern artâ€™s move towards abstraction, Piet Mondrianâ€™s oeuvre is extraordinarily versatile and complex. Not only did he paint and draw, he also wrote extensively about his thoughts and theories on art and life. Moving from traditional Dutch landscape painting to a pronounced rhythmic framework focusing on compositional structure rather than naturalistic representation, Mondrian was profoundly impressed by contemporary culture. Thus, he was not only inspired by the pattern of the extensive Dutch canal system, but also by the rhythm of jazz and the foxtrot. Demonstrating the impact of his oeuvre, Yves Saint-Laurent's famous ""Mondrian Dress"" even made him a fashion icon posthumously. Celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth, Ulf KÃ¼ster entertainingly leads through well- and lesser-known aspects of Mondrian's life and work offering inspiring impulses for reflection and further engagement with the fascinating artist.
