The most famous representative of ‘de Stijl’, Piet Mondrian, also had guts. Joyce: “Mondriaan himself certainly had guts. In his time he unleashed a true revolution in art. At a time when it was normal to paint landscapes in earthy colors, he had the guts to completely break with realistic paintings and went his own path towards complete abstraction. An unprecedentedly large and courageous step.”
Artists honor Mondrian on 150th birthday: ‘He had complete confidence in what he made’
