I have a new favourite.
From Mark Caywood, and you
can see it on his super web-site
here.
Three Hotels on Broadway
Boogie-Woogie - 1949
Piet Mondrian
oil on canvas,
56 x 46 inches.
Price Available On Request
This piece, part of a series Mondrian painted to honor America's favorite
board game, was lost for many years. In the early 1960s, a janitor found it
while cleaning out a storage closet in The Playboy Club, which had taken
over the space previously occupied by Mondrian's studio.
In this colorful composition, the artist appears to be making a comment on
the pivotal aspect of American corporate economic strength, i.e. "Monopoly",
while at the same time, his innovative placement of various street names and
sales prices implies a profound indictment of urban exploitation perpetrated
against the poor.

There's another of
Mark's works on page 2, here.
And a third on

Andrew Findlay
A decidedly original homage from this artist who provides
a full explanation of both the thought-process behind the work and the
practical aspects of realising it
here.
I do not entirely agree with the concept as PM sold
flower paintings into the 1920s to subsidise the abstracts which did not
sell. But perhaps that is an alternative interpretation, that he resented
having to do so. I would have replaced the tulip with a chrysanthemum, or,
even better, an amaryllis, but that's just carping: it's a super idea. |

Mondrian Google
I nearly missed this on Google
to celebrate PM's birth date. I knew something had caught my eye, paged back
and there it was. Three cheers for Google. Can it be extrapolated to identify
the original? (No, I've tried.)
They also did a Dali in May
2002, and others, see here. |

Mondrian Portrait
An interesting eBay find
DRAWING /PRINT? AM.
GOTHIC MEETS MONDRIAN
This is either a drawing or a print, I honestly can't tell, of a man with a
pitchfork and a Mondrian make-up job. It's signed either "franki" or "f
kanki". It was bought about 15 years ago in Buffalo, NY. Very funky.
Measurements:5 1/4" x 7 1/4" inside lucite box frame (included).

Barnaby Conrad lll One of my favourites (and it arrived in the post on 26th

high x 8 1/2" wide mixed watercolor and lithograph sold by the MODERNISM
ART STUDIO in San Francisco.

This is the first successful

The artist is Larry
Davidson - a really nice chap too.
The third is tending
towards Mr Calder, but still nice. The first is perfect, the second is the
best of all, suffering
only from a weak blue. But hey, what do I know?
I am now the proud owner of
the second picture, a la Mondrian #4, which Larry very kindly
sent me for my birthday in 2002. Other artists please note - 10th November.

Romo de Vivar
"MONDRIAN MULE " by
April Romo de Vivar
This painting is 12 inches by 16
inches, painted on canvas board with acrylic paints. I have been painting
shoes done by designers and decided to paint one of the Mondrian Mule,
created by Andrea Pfister as a tribute to the artist, Piet Mondrian. The
photograph shows the vibrant colors of the green, red and yellow and blue
used by Mondrian in his paintings. I can honestly say that the painting is
brighter than the photo. The background is white. I liked the bright
colors with the black. Mondrian has always been a favorite of mine, and
wish that I owned a pair of them.
This is one of the few Homages on this
page I actually own, and still one of the best. I now have a "toy real" one,
here. |

Red Scharlach
Piet Mondrian's Composition: Hedwig
Image © 2004 Red Scharlach
Source
This is a terrific combination of simplicity and
style. It helps to know that it's an owl, but then the brilliance of the
composition becomes apparent. Red has taken some liberties with Mondrian
structures (the feet in particular) but it nevertheless retains the
essential elements of a real Mondrian. At the top of the picture, the lines
are authentic but nevertheless suggest head and ears.
Reproduced with the permission of the artist.

Vic Hulshof
Mondrian Window
A third sculpture (see above and the Segal) - and a rather fine one too found on dart.fine-art.com.
This object was made in
1996, celebrating Piet Mondrian, who started his artistic career in my
hometown Winterzwijk, in the east of the Netherlands. On the spot where the
object is placed, he made several paintngs and studies. The object is part
of an memorial Mondrian-walking-tour through Winterswijk.
Update 27th Aug 02. I
have now heard from the artist, Vic Hulshof.
This link is to the home page of his site
and you can see this and some of his other works (including a delightful
bridge) on the Objex page. |

This comes with along
aesthetics diatribe which lost me early on (small excerpt below), but I think
it's a great piece of work.
Canto 61: A glance at Mondriaan, 1987
To surpass nature, that is grosso modo what concerned and still concerns
artists. From Joos de Momper to Piet Mondriaan, from Van Eyck to Van Gogh
and further, to the painters of today. Surpass, improve, worsen, embellish.
Apparently nearly all art strives to change nature, to change reality. Thus
the artist depicts not reality as it exists, but reality as is wished.

Piet Mondrian and the dutchboy paints logo are together to create this
colorful painting. I recreated Mondrian's Red, Blue and Yellow Composition
as an excellent background for this little fellow. He fits perfectly well on
Mondrian's amazing artwork. This is a 16"X20" original acrylic painting on a
gallery wrapped canvas done by me, Dino Torres. This painting has been
sealed with a clear varnish to protect and enhance the colors. Sides are
painted. I will send a certificate of authenticity with this painting. Sorry
