From October 8 2011 until January 29 2012 the Complesso Vittoriano in Rome will host an exhibition dedicated to the famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian (or Mondriaan, as it is written in Dutch).
The title of the exhibtion is “Mondrian: The Perfect Harmony” and contains 70 oil paintings and drawings by the master himself and more than 40 works by artists that had an influence on his artistic development.
The pieces are on loan from several important and prestigious museums and galleries such as the Gemeentemuseum of the Hague, the Denver Art Museum, the Philadelphia Art Museum, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, and the Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art.
Mondrian started his career as a painter of landscapes, but is mostly famous as a pioneer of abstract and non-figurative art, most notably his characteristic work with primary colors and rectangular spaces.
