Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter who was born on March 7, 1872, in Amersfoort, Netherlands. He was an important leader in the development of modern abstract art and a major exponent of the Dutch abstract art movement known as De Stijl (“The Style”). He is best known for taking key strides in the field of Cubism, an avant-garde artistic style which originated in France at the beginning of the twentieth century. His father was certified to teach drawing and his uncle was a painter. They encouraged Mondrian to create art from an early age. He died on February 1, 1944, in New York City.
