The Mondrian’s painting isn’t representative of the reality like we see, but is an art that can capture something that our sense organs cannot. The monograph organized in Vittoriano in Rome is titled “The Perfect Harmony” and this is the best title to describe Mondrian’s works, that is works which represent a absolute equilibrium of connections between lines, colors and areas.
So the Mondrian’s works are much more that paintings drown on a drafting table, these result from many years of Mondrian’s studies which carried the artist to discover the real essence of the nature. Paintings that had inspired designer and graphic artist around the world.
You can visit the Mondrian’s exhibition every day in Vittoriano Museum in Rome, and if after the art exhibition you would enjoy in a nice restaurant of Rome we suggest this roof garden in the center.
