Piet Mondrian, Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow, 1930

Golden Rectangle
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter, a pioneer of Geometric abstraction.

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.
