Piet Cornelius Mondrian (1872 Amsterdam-1944 New York) Attributed: Chrysanthemum Drawing, signed lower right. Charcoal on thin card stock.

Born Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan in the Netherlands, he was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement led by Theo van Doesburg and committed to abstraction and non-objective painting focused on geometric lines and the three primary colors. Ever underlying his work was a constant quest for spiritual truth. His father taught drawing at a private school and his uncle, Fritz Mondriaan, was a known painter who influenced and encouraged the interests of his nephew. In 1912, he changed the spelling of his name to Mondrian to signify his departure from the artistic influences of his Dutch culture.
