Everyone knows piet mondrian, so why almost nobody knew also Dutch, same abstract theo van Doesburg, disciplines the upcoming Tate modern exhibition? Why mondrian when Doesburg celebrity van footnote is just the 20th century art, a name, constantly exposed, and did not take centre stage? It can't be these picture, because if you are honest words you will acknowledge that the two men - almost directly contemporaries "(van Doesburg eight years old), in a short while, close friends, almost the same thing in the paint, though I would like to wait have important detail mysterious items: according to some commentators, van Doesburg bold introduce diagonally into his work can cause a rift between the two men. We live in heaven when an artist will to bottle in the urine of his grandmother in someone wants to mild shocked, so know, refreshingly debate in the 1920s use diagonals has no ties.
Presumably another reason for Mondrian's greater fame is those little dresses that Yves Saint Laurent created in the 60s, which elevated the reclusive Dutch artist to the status of a design icon. But perhaps the most is the main reason, mondrian insist on his own opinions. Two singer's Dutch development into a parable of traditional into complete abstraction is at the same time, but when mondrian continued with his desolate, geometric painting throughout his life, van Doesburg had other ideas, many of them. You should seize mondrian do you have? Abstract painter, rather solitary, is not simple. You should try the same thing, he Doesburg and van as slippery as an eel. Painter, poet, art critics, designing and printing workers, architects, performance artist, he is all of these things and much more. Polymorph self. A fox, mondrian the hedgehog.
So who is he? In 1883 Kupper amir Christianity was born in an artistic family in Utrecht, he is "theo Doesburg" when he started painting - his name was borrowed from his stepfather. "Fan," added later, and the same, Ludwig van Smith added: "this" when he merger his mother's maiden name, Rohe, with his own father's surname. A found a similar feeling of social tensions in the two men.
