The Unknown Piet Mondrian - Perspectives from The Artist's RoadThe Unknown Piet Mondrian Perspectives from The Artist's Road
In September, 2019, Ann and I were in Paris following a successful painting workshop that we had organized and taught in St. Rémy. Taking some well-earned time off to relax in the City of Light, we decided to visit the wonderful collection of Monet’s paintings which the artist had left to his son, Michel. These were his favorite works which he did not sell, and which Michel subsequently left to the Musée Marmottan Monet. The museum is located in the leafy suburb of Passy and holds the world’s largest collection of Monet’s work anywhere.
“His oeuvre cannot be defined as a direct transition from figuration to abstraction or from black and white to colour. On the contrary, naturalism remained a constant in Mondrian’s work, raising him to the rank—which is an unknown and yet important fact—of a great master of twentieth-century figurative painting”. From Musée Marmottan, September 2019.
