Always an interesting artist, and one of a relatively small number of abstract painters whose work I enjoy every time I see it.  Not so keen on seeing it employhed on dresses and scatter-cushions, though.

Although it is not evident in all his early works, I get a strong sense of 'line' that gradually grows before finally taking over at the expense of representation.  I have picked out this landscape, mainly because the colours and the subject reminded me a little of Cézanne.

Strangely for someone who tends to like abstract art over representational art, Mondrian's stuff has always left me cold, and I don't see much variety once he'd found his 'stijl' in the early 20s. However, I'd make an exception for his last work, 1943's Broadway Boogie-Woogie, posted earlier.

I suspect  his work is liked by those who don't normally like abstraction; but not so much by those who do. A rather bold conclusion to come to on this limited date-set, but "bold" is one's middle name.  There was a rather distinct line from figurative  through to abstract - I don't know if that has any significance.  Of his abstracts, there are only one or two that really appeal to me, and I prefer the figurative work.

Thanks Jenny for the intro. I like his more traditional work, and the still life with apples in particular is superb. However his abstract paintings do nothing at all for me.

I like his earlier work and the beginning of his abstract development but not really the end product, his linear work.

I also really liked his still life with apples… I’ll leave it there for now!

I really like the penultimate one on this page - the misty, moody woods with the dark building beyond.  Of the abstracts, the more linear the better for me; I like the clarity of his colour.  I've always found him interesting: that's why this is my third post on him!
