Mondrian And His Studios

Mondrian and his Studios explores different phases in the career of abstract artist Piet Mondrian (1872–1944). A major exhibition highlight will be a life-size reconstruction of his Paris studio, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Mondrian’s creative environment, where many of his ideas and ideals were developed.

Sharing the exhibition with the Dutch painter is the pioneering Indian modernist Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990), who, like Mondrian, moved away from a figurative style and developed her own unique approach to abstraction through intricate line drawings which often recall forms present in urban and natural environments.

The exhibition will present the largest number of neo-plastic paintings by Mondrian ever assembled in the UK, with some never before seen in this country.
