exhibit. Mondrian is considered a stylistic pioneer whose abstract
paintings mark a clear and decisive break with the past. Descriptions
of his artistic evolution are couched in terms of the "modern,"
and certainly he was among the first of those revolutionary 20th-century
European painters who challenged the idea that art must imitate nature.
With over 100 paintings and drawings of breathtaking beauty, this
landmark exhibition, which will be seen only in Paris and Fort Worth,
is the first devoted to Piet Mondrian's early career, from his student
years in Holland, working as a painter of romantic landscapes, to
his emergence as an artist of international renown in cosmopolitan
pre-World War I Paris. Tue. -Thu. & Sat. 10 a.m.–5 p.m.,
Fri. noon–8 p.m., Sun. noon–5 p.m. Closed Mon. and major
