Before writing this post, I read an article about abstract art discussing Piet Mondrian views on art. Mondrian was involved in the De Stijl art movement, an art style focused on isolating a single visual style that would appropriate to all aspects of modern life. The style resulted in implementing geometric blocks of primary colors and vertical and horizontal lines. Mondrian's art theories greatly affected his abstract art style & his quote about abstract art stuck out to me when looking at this painting, Mondrian said
"The emotion of beauty is always obscured by the appearance of the object. Therefore the object must be eliminated from the picture."
When I first look at this painting, I see splatters of ink. There seems to be an incident
