Mondrian’s painting, Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow was created in 1930 on a 46 x 46 cm canvas.[1]This oil painting consists of geometric figures, in particular, variations of squares and rectangles. Combinations of thick and thin planar lines are used to form the boundaries between the color blocks in the painting. These planar lines can be described as flat and simplistic; they are not detailed and show little brush detail. The planes that are created by these lines are a variety of sizes and colors. In this painting, the lines do not create distinctive borders, but instead the rectangular planes fully extend onto the edges of the canvas. Mondrian uses red, white, blue, and yellow as the colors for the individual planes. Mondrian always began with a white canvas but he did not leave the white planes of his paintings untouched, but rather painted with a white paint instead of leaving the original canvas exposed. The cracks in the paint within the white planes can be seen clearly. Each plane varies in size; the red plane is nearly nine times larger than the blue plane, which is subsequently about nine times as large as the yellow plane. The four individual white planes vary in size as well, however none of the aforementioned planes overlap. Instead, each plane lay adjacent to one another. This piece is an indicative representation of the works that were created by Mondrian during the decline of the de Stijl movement.
