- Mondrian was a very analytical artist. Many of his motives were based on trees, turning them into grids and was very interested in negative space rather than colour. His works are nicely structured and the dark lines break up the colours. His works get more hard edged and contain subdued tones, which makes it seem more black and white. They take your eyes across the canvas so that your eyes move in a a circle. Like Cezanne, he alters the landscape and values unity in his painting at all cost. His next painting have become more simpler through motif, with smaller and smaller negative shapes. They become more monochromatic and the trunks have become the major vertical. Mondrian decided that his paintings should have minimum elements and were 2D, not illusional. Modern art was the beginning of ideas and his works influenced many other artist and designs through his use of horizontal lines and shapes for their buildings. Now all of architecture and furniture look similar to the paintings due to the shapes.
