Mondrian on the streets of Paris

I love seeing themes pop up from the streets of Paris. I was surprised to notice the ongoing influence of Piet Mondrian in Paris. Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter, his nonrepresentational form is apparently called neoplasticism.

You see Mondrian everywhere when you look.

We had seen an Yves St Laurent Mondrian dress at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. I didn't know at that stage that it was the start of a trend. 


Dreaming of France is a wonderful Monday meme

    What fun to notice a trend. It looks similar to Art Deco to me. What do you think? Here’s my Dreaming of France meme

    I have always like Piet Mondrian's work. I've seen many dresses in that style lately over here. I do like this post!

    Thanks for the update Carol, I can't wait to see the changes.

    I'd never thought about the art deco connection, but Mondrian was doing this work in the 1920s and 30s, so I think you're pretty cluey.

    Thanks Jeanie. The dresses do look lovely, not that I think they'd suit me, but they have classic, crisp lines.

    I currently have two of those supermarket bags in my car for use in our supermarkets. A little bit of France in my everyday life. (They are also really strong!)

    I love the dress - it's gorgeous, although I suspect it would blow the budget!!

    I've been a Mondrain fan since my trip to NY and the MOMA in 2007.
