Composition 07 by Piet Mondrian

This architecture of lines and planes bears witness to a constant search for spiritual purity through art. By bringing into the world the painting entitled “Composition 07”, the famous theorist Piet Mondrian achieves an extreme formal refinement where each graphic element possesses a precise structural function. The work becomes the receptacle of a universal truth freed from the contingencies of the sensible world.

A large intense blue square takes over the upper left side, asserting a monumental visual presence. To its right, a highly dense vertical black block stretches downwards, separating the canvas into two distinct sections. The upper right corner is occupied by a brilliant solar yellow square. In the lower central zone, two horizontal red rectangles are juxtaposed, creating a focal point of intense chromatic warmth. A horizontal yellow band underlines the base of the painting, while a blue rectangle is inserted just above it. The orthogonal black grid firmly orders this ensemble, distributing white openings that perfectly balance the density of the saturated colors.

The manual virtuosity of Piet Mondrian is expressed with force in the absolute regularity of the straight lines that grid the space. His technical mastery of painting makes it possible to obtain borders of perfect sharpness between shades, eliminating any smudge to offer an absolute and definitive visual clarity.
