Abstraction

Mondrian's descendants - NYC map
Looking at abstract paintings our actual experiences get involved. The black lines of the Piet Mondrian painting, 1935, now become Tsunami waves. The blue area above left: the underwater eruption during the earthquake! The yellow field below, right, a ship near Hawaii? The peek-a-boo small red on the right border? The nuclear plant area of Japan after the 8,9 earthquake last Friday, 11th March 2011. Maybe that red will get bigger and bigger, the nuclear fallout can destroy so much… Piet Mondrian was forced to paint his clear compositions: escaping the chaos of the reality, the news, the noise … so am I today …

    da abstraktes nichts gegenständliches darstellt kann man natürlich alles hinein interpretieren
    das ist vieleicht gerade die absicht des künstlers
    jeder wird seine eigene interpretation finden, wenn er sich darum nur bemüht

  8. Nice post. intersting interpretation. Not sure it is non-objective enough for Mondrian to have gone along with it. Now it is me, putting myself in Mondrian’s shoes! Thanks for you visit to my blog and your kind comments.
