about a little but fast growing red on the right side of a MONDRIAN painting
– as a metaphor for the actual Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in Japan …

Rhythm Of Black Lines by Piet Mondrian-c.1935-42
Originally uploaded by kamikazecactus
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 …

Hi Frizztext,
I am a big fan of art and art museums. I especially am fond of modern art. I love this Piet Mondrain piece. I’ve never viewed in quite the way you describe, but it’s a very good metaphor to describe the happenings in Japan. Too bad the lines in the reality of the scene aren’t so clearly drawn…
I found you through my good friend Elizabeth and her blog-hop…because I’m a hopper.
