Untitled is a 1941 oil by Piet Mondrian, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is all straight lines and big empty spaces. On the left side, there are thick black borders framing white rectangles. Two of those rectangles have bright yellow squares inside. The rest of the painting is mostly white, with a few small colored squares—red, blue, and one tiny yellow—scattered in the corners. The lines and colors feel precise and uncluttered, like a grid. The red and blue squares stand out against the white and black, but they’re small compared to the rest. If you like this kind of simple, structured art, look up Piet Mondrian.
Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan (Dutch: ; 7 March 1872 – 1 February 1944), known after 1911 as Piet Mondrian (, US also ; Dutch: ), was a Dutch painter and art theoretician, who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
