Jail Cell
Designed by Piet Mondrian, (1872-1944)
Cement, Desk, Bed, Iron Bars: painted and furnished in 1941

Shortly after Piet Mondrian's arrival in New York, he was commissioned to design a jail cell for the newly renovated Attica State Prison. The design, based on his Plasticity theories, was intended as a sublime spiritual environment meant to subdue the brutal and barbaric impulses of convicted killers serving life sentences without parole.

The first occupant, a double-murderer named Mark Dewie Champ, spent three weeks in Mondrian's cell before he hung himself with a shoelace. After that, it was discovered that the primary colors---especially those on the jail cell bars---were creating auditory as well as visual hallucinations in both the occupant and nearby prison guards.

With the death of Mr. Champ, and at the insistence of the Prison Guards Union (Local 187), officials decided to abandon the experiment. The cell remained empty until shortly after Mondrian's death in 1944, when officials decided to repaint it in "Industrial Green".

NOTE: This is the only known photograh of the lost jail cell; Mondrian's painting "New York City I" can be seen on the right---hanging over the small bed.

IRVING LEONARD KAPLAN

Hommage A Agam, Mondrian et Pharoah
The construction pictured in the accompanying phographs consists of approximately forty-five three-dimensional pyramids collaged in an overall grid pattern onto a wooden-frame-reinforced black matte background.
Patterns for the individual pyramids were laid out and cut out from Bristol card stock.
The blank forms for each of the pyramids were scored for folding and then hand-painted, while still in the flat, using acrylic primary colors. [Red, Blue,Yellow, White, Gray and Black] After the painting, the painted blanks were folded into the pyramidal form and glued to maintain their shape.
The painted three-dimensional pyramids were placed onto the background matte in a grid pattern. The dimensions of the basic grid modules are four and three-eighths inches by four and three-eighths inches.The height of each of the pyramids is three inches.
The design of this construction piece is intended to be representational of works by the well-known artists, Yaacov Agam and Piet Mondrian, and of the construction works by Pharoah in Egypt.
The construction is enclosed by a clear acrylic case with the following dimensions: Width: 42.50 inches; Height: 32.50 inches and Depth: 4.75 inches.

Joaquin Torres-García
Uruguayan artist Joaquin Torres-García. He lived from 1874 until 1949, Uruguayan artist, and leader of the Montevideo School of painting. Torres-García moved to Paris, France, in 1926. While in Europe, his work was influenced by Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian. Torres-García was also influenced by Inca and Nazca pottery on his visit to Madrid, Spain, in 1932. Torres-García's style is based on a grid pattern derived from the aesthetics of the golden section, a geometric proportion based on specific line segment ratios. His Montevideo School was known for its development of an abstract art based on geometry and surrealism.
This is from a bank-note. Further details here.

Here's a delightful example from Joni Cohen on sale on eBay. You can email the artist here.

"PRIMARILY"
 I have always been fascinated with color, and here I have explored the interactions and illusions of the most basic colors and forms through both their visual and spiritual qualities. An apparent reference to Mondrian, although that was not on my mind when creating this piece!
This LARGE 2 ft. X 2-1/2 ft. painting has very deep, bold colors, and has a very intense, dramatic feel to it!

more Wesselmann there's a better one here

Tom Wesselmann (American, born 1931)
Still Life #20, 1962
Mixed media, 48 x 48 x 5 1/2"
Wesselmann created a series of still lifes (works of art that represent a group of inanimate objects) in the 1960s - the Gallery's work is #20 in the series. The left side of the work was created with functional items he collected, then placed in a real cabinet above an actual sink - the light can be turned on or off and the cabinet opened or closed  On the right are two-dimensional representations of various types of food and drink. Above is a reproduction of a painting by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) who used the elements of art in their purest forms - straight lines, right angles, primary colors (red, yellow, blue) - in an attempt to represent a future utopian society. Wesselmann often included reproductions of works by other artists in his still lifes, in part to show that art - once so far removed from everyday life - had joined the commercial world. Wesselmann based much of his composition of Still Life #20 on Mondrian's 1921 image
Ed Haldeman

This was on sale on ebay. I assume the vendor is the artist, in which case it's Ed Haldeman (any relation to Bob?)

This recently done drawing is reminiscent of Mondrian in a crisp linear style. The image size is 3" x 5". It is mounted in a light 8" x 10" grey mat with a mat back. Take your time to look at it a while and see if it sticks with you.

I bought it.

 Ed Haldeman o
This looks like a good source for material. The featured example is certainly worthy of a place as our first circular Composition.

Soft cover catalog on Post-Mondrian abstract art. Size about 8 x 8", exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL. 1973. 31 pages, 25 photo illustrations, some in color. Artists include Mondrian, Bolotowsky, Swinden, Diller, Glarner, and others. Please add $2.00 for shipping. Condition very good, small blemish on cover seen in scan, and stamp of former owner on first page.

I bought the catalogue with the intention of adding other items from it, but they are mostly black-and-white and the colour uninspiring.

 

This is Fritz Glarner, Relational Painting Tondo no. 40, 1956

Alexander Calder
There is frequently a load of Calder's work on sale on eBay. They come up on a Mondrian search and I have never seen why. This time the link is clear - can't say I like it much, but it is definitely influenced by the Great Man. Here's a better one.

This great original lithograph by Calder was done in 1968 for the Derriere Le Miroir publication. Image size 15" x 11". It is not a reproduction, but is an original lithograph. It is in excellent condition and has never been framed. Alexander Calder was born in 1898 in Philadelphia, died in 1976 in New York. During 1923-25 he attended the Art Students League in New York and moved to Paris in 1926, where he met Joan Miro who inspired him to create the animal and plant figures out of steel wire that were exhibited in New York’s Salon des Independence in 1928. In 1929 after meeting Leger and Mondrian he began experimenting with mobile wire constructions.

Note: I have added a few Calders in June 2002, having found some better ones and some relevant to particular areas, such as Mondrian Animals.

These relate to an Italian degree course. Google has a good try at translating:

MONDRIAN: PAINTING, MUSIC, WE DANCED
Study lead in the Course of Bachelor in Industrial Design near the Polytechnic of Milan
An endowed customer of a virtual helmet, a pair of caps, and a coveralls or a system of motion capture, has the possibility to create music and at the same time to give life to a dance through the necessary gestualità to the manipulation of the painting of Mondrian that it sees to the inside of the virtual atmosphere.
