MONDRIAN
Sqllare COlnposition
n his most famous works,
I Mondrian (1892- 1944) used only
black and while plus the three
primary colors. This geometric
work with Its straight lines and
colored rectangles could not be
further removed from Ihe landscape
pai nt ings of his early career.
In the 1960s, Yves S1. Laurent styled a
dress around one of these abstracts. It
was this Ihal inspired the sweater.
