Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist known for developing an abstract style using primary colors and black lines to divide rectangles and squares on the canvas. Born in 1872 in the Netherlands, he spent his later years in Manhattan where he refined his abstract geometric style until his death in 1944 at age 71. The document provides instructions for recreating one of Mondrian's colorful, grid-based abstract compositions using primary colored paper, a ruler, scissors, and black pen on a white background.
