Rather, the network of lines and color blocks pulsates with the energy of the modern city that Mondrian embraced and celebrated. Piet Mondrian fled from Paris in 1938 and settled in New York City a few years later, bringing with him this painting. </p> <p>Responding to the dynamism of the modern American city, he altered the painting, scraping away paint, widening lines, and adding bars of color. He said the blocks of color he added gave the work “more boogie woogie.”</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/dma/dallas-museum-art-collection-mondrian" target="_blank">read more</a></p> De Stijl Movement Dutch Painting European Painting Modern Art Painting Piet Mondrian Materials and Process Dallas Museum of Art http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/69/69cff0d157c2c886/poster-image-03.jpg 69cff0d157c2c886 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:40:27 +0000 JStoneDMA 9428 at http://artbabble.org Robert Irwin and Michael Govan at LACMA http://artbabble.org/video/lacma/robert-irwin-and-michael-govan-lacma <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-series"> <div class="field-label">Series:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/series/talks">Talks</a> </div> <div class="field-item even"> <a href="/series/talks">Talks</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-institution"> <div class="field-label">Institution:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/partner/los-angeles-county-museum-art">Los Angeles County Museum of Art</a> </div> </div> </div> <p>Los Angeles County Museum of Art CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan interviews artist Robert Irwin.</p> http://artbabble.org/video/lacma/robert-irwin-and-michael-govan-lacma#comments Abstract Art Ambulatory Band in Boston Disk dot paintings environmental deconstruction environmental influence form framing Frank Gehry Kazimir Malevich La Jolla light and space line paintings Los Angeles County Museum of Art Michael Govan Modern Art perception Piet Mondrian Robert Irwin San Diego The Panza Collection UCSD un-framing Velvet Underground Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art Who's Afraid of Red Yellow and Blue?
