Mondrian

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist who contributed towards the De Stijl movement. He is most famous for his non-representational paintings and many examples are to be found on posters in student lodgings.

For some reason his early naturalist paintings have a deep effect on me when I look at them. Especially the two shown below. I think that for a long time I have been deep in the woods and now I can just start to see familiar things between the trees. Maybe. Or it could be that these are tremendously atmospheric paintings done by a genius in an early stage of his career.
