"Composition in Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black" by Piet Mondrian , created in 1921, is a representative work of the constructivism. This painting stands out for its use of simple geometric shapes and pure colors, reflecting the influence of the Bauhaus and its emphasis on functionality and aesthetics minimalist. Mondrian uses a large red plane that dominates the composition, balanced by areas of yellow, black, gray, and blue, creating a visual dynamic that seeks to evoke an emotional response in the viewer. The work shows the painter's evolution towards a more geometric abstraction, moving away from the organic forms of his early works. This approach highlights his interest in the intersection of art and science, exploring how visual elements can influence perception and emotional state. The painting is a testament to the constructivist master's ability to merge theory and practice, establishing new directions in abstract art.
