Composition in White, Red, and Yellow
1936
This iconic work by Piet Mondrian exemplifies his mature De Stijl aesthetic, featuring a precisely structured grid of bold black lines dividing the canvas into rectangles filled with white and the primary colors red, yellow, and blue. The asymmetrical arrangement demonstrates Mondrian's mastery of visual balance and his pursuit of pure abstraction through the reduction of form to essential elements. Painted in 1936, the work belongs to his celebrated series of Compositions and stands as a landmark in the history of geometric abstraction. It is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
