Pompidou Museum
"The goal is not to adapt, it is to create." Piet Mondrian
We enter this modern building, riding escalators into the sky.
In this special exhibit, the third painting I see of Mondrian is; "Dune Landscape". I am immediately enthalled. I like anyone who paints dunes. This large blue and purple masterpiece is positioned between two lovely ladies; "passion flower" and "devotion".
Keara and I enjoy line and color as we are reminded that "painting - abstract painting - is in the domain of a proper experience both perceptive and cognitive."
I think it is interesting to see that Mondrian lived on Rue du Depart!
Piet departs from regular style of painting (whatever that is) - such an "in the moment guy" who actually now seems like a "futurist"!
".....colored area expanding unresticted around the environment was there to guide the human being of the future on the path to underiversal harmony...."
Some of the titles of Mondrian's paintings are delightful in and of themselves:
"Landscape with apple tree at left"
"Sailing boat moored on a river"
'Dunescape'
"Sunflower in a vase"
"Chrysanthamum with vertical barrier at left"
'Dune sketch in orange'
Amazing exhibit!
We also enjoy artists of the era from 1905 -1945 - so many marvelous Matisse paintings, a few of Raoul Dufy, Picasso, Modigliani, Bonnard, Chagall, and others.....ah!
