Piet Monderian, Broadway Boogie-Woogie, 1942-43. Oil on canvas.

Mondrian arrived in New York in 1940, one of the many European artists who moved to the United States to escape World War II. He immediately fell in love with the city and with boogie-woogie music, to which he was introduced on his first evening in New York. Soon he began, as he said, to put a little boogie-woogie into his paintings.

Mondrian’s aesthetic doctrine of Neo-Plasticism restricted the painter to the most basic kinds of line—that is, to straight horizontals and verticals—and to a similarly limited color range, the primary triad of red, yellow, and blue plus white, black, and the grays in between. But Broadway Boogie Woogie omits black and breaks Mondrian’s once uniform bars of color into multicolored segments. Bouncing against each other, these tiny, blinking blocks of color create a vital and pulsing rhythm, an optical vibration that jumps from intersection to intersection like traffic on the streets of New York. At the same time, the picture is carefully calibrated, its colors interspersed with gray and white blocks.

Mondrian’s appreciation of boogie-woogie may have sprung partly from the fact that he saw its goals as analogous to his own: “destruction of melody which is the destruction of natural appearance; and construction through the continuous opposition of pure means—dynamic rhythm.” —from MoMA Highlights: 375 Works from The Museum of Modern Art

Yuriy except i drew him over this very specific image of a cat

I literally looked everyhwwre to find that cat image for a day btw i couldnt find it i created a reddit acc just to ask ppl abt it until my friend found it😭PURELY bcs this screenshot of him reminded me of it

Also heres a version i made with just screenshots lmfao

I was thinking of drawing the furry wolf version of him or replacing the cat yoğurt with something else but came to the conclusion that an entire human dude calming down by eating cat yoğurt is the funniest version of this i can possibly create
