Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942-1943) Oil on canvas 50 x 50 in. (127 x 127 cm) The Museum of Modern Art, New York. It was his final painting, the checkerboard lines, are painted blue, gray, red and yellow. (The yellow was apparently inspired by New York’s Yellow cabs). In the further attempt to simplify and perfect his images, he did not use any curved lines or organic shapes, he used only straight lines and geometric shapes. He also only used black, white, gray, and the three primary colors – bright red, blue, and yellow. The use of his simple geometric shapes and basic colors formed a new style or art movement called De Stijl.
