Breaking it Down

Composition 8, 1914 by Piet Mondrian, The Guggenheim Museum, NYC.
This is Mondrian's interpretation of a tree after seeing the cubist work of Braque and Picasso. He eventually took it to an even more abstract level.
"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

Great blog, i'm bookmarking it. Check out how I replicate some of this stuff using digital photography.
Never be afraid of abstraction... it's much more spiritual that one could think (also in Mondrian's case!)... think about Ad Reinhardt, or Newman (a name a destiny)
Greetings from Italy!
how you doin'?
