Piet Mondriaan was an artist born in 1872 in the Netherlands. He moved to Paris in 1912 and began to develop an independent abstract style using horizontal and vertical straight lines and blocks of colour. Mondrian became one of the founders of the De Stijl group which extended its principles of abstraction and simplification beyond painting and sculpture to architecture and graphic and industrial design. However he withdrew from the group after van Doesburg introduced diagonal elements into his work around 1925. This play recreates the fiery dispute between Mondriaan and van Doesburg.
