In three painting workshops on Friday mornings, get to know artist Piet Mondrian better by getting to work yourself. Be assured of a place and sign up now!
By popular demand, the Mondrian House is organising another series of workshops for adults in November. During the series Amsterdam-Paris-New York you will learn about Piet Mondrian's work in his Amsterdam, Paris and New York periods. Afterwards, you will paint, because the best way to understand Mondrian is to try it yourself.
While the three workshops in November 2019 form a whole, they are also great to do separately. After all, each workshop focuses on a different period of Mondrian's oeuvre.
Friday 1 November: Amsterdam
In his early years, Piet Mondrian worked figuratively, painting landscapes, among other things. Some of his early works are on display at the Mondrian House. Why did Mondrian make these landscapes and how exactly did he go about it? By looking carefully at his paintings, you will learn to create your own landscape step by step.
Friday, November 8: Paris
In the Paris workshop, we focus on Piet Mondrian's particular stylistic development during his French period. In the city of lights, Mondrian was introduced to the work of great artists such as Picasso and Braque and eventually arrived at his own abstract painting style. In this workshop, participants will follow in Mondrian's footsteps and create an abstracted representation.
Friday, November 15: New York
Some of Mondrian's most iconic works only came about in the last phase of his life, when he stayed in New York. It was there that his abstract art came to fruition. In total, Piet Mondrian spent about 25 years of his life creating abstract art. What exactly did he want to achieve with this? And how did he set up his compositions? Inspired by his last work, the Victory Boogie Woogie, participants will play with composition and create an abstract artwork.
