Mondrian has been one of my favorite artists for as long as i can remember liking art. Probably since about the second grade. However, i realized just recently that i was only aware of his minimalistic abstract paintings, such as this one:
The image at the top, titled Gray Tree, was a 1912 experiment in cubism. This second image, titled Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow was done in 1930 and is what Mondrian eventually came to be known for.
I chose this artist for my week's inspiration because he is proof that you don't have to know exactly what you're going to do for the rest of your life when you're still at the beginning of it. He was nearly 50 when he started producing the grid-like paintings he would be known for. Art isn't about the destination, it's about the journey to that destination.
well put, the journey to the destination is what is important, so make sure you are going somewhere
