Travel Pick: Art and Archaeology in Netherlands Mondrian
Mondrian NETHERLANDS DEN HAAG • The Gemeentemuseum • 26 April - 26 October 2008
The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag possesses the largest Mondrian collection in the world. It illustrates the entire evolution of the artist’s oeuvre, from his early figurative work right through to his final abstract masterpiece, Victory Boogie Woogie.
A number of artists with whom Mondrian worked at various times – including Ferdinand Hart Nibbrig, Jacoba van Heemskerk, Jan Toorop, and his co-founders of De Stijl – played a demonstrable role in his life and artistic development. The works on show reveal the reciprocal influences that resulted from their shared quest for the ultimate work of art and the conclusions to which they came.
