1. “ An empty canvas is a living wonder... far lovelier than certain pictures.” -Wassily Kandinsky

3. “ The Wounded Angel” (Simberg 1903)

13. Began as a sketch artist mainly doing anatomical drawings. Moved into nature later becoming progressively more non-representational

14. Became simpler and simpler as desire to reveal the universal order under things developed.

15. Influence of cubism is clear as spent time in Paris. Believed what cubists started was a step in the correct direction but not there yet.

16. Believed classical geometry to be essential to uncovering the universal order. We see here the way that the rectangles in Mondrian’s work can be divided in half in succession an infinite number of times. NOTE: This pattern is repeatedly found in nature and possibly could give us clues to relationships between Mondrian’s Neo-Plastic paintings and natural objects.

21. Began to experiment with abstraction in water color and charcoal.

22. “ A Storm” (O’Keeffe 1922)

26. Influenced architecture especially that of Frank Lloyd Wright. Principles mimic Mondrian. Notice how they also deal with the simplicity of nature like Mondrian Influenced couture fashion by making design something “avant-garde”, no longer necessarily practical and progressively got more daring as it moved away from traditional black and white to use bold color and daring cuts.
