Composition with Red and Blue is a famous abstract painting by Piet Mondrian. In this artwork, Mondrian uses straight black lines to divide the canvas into rectangles and fills some of them with red and blue. The simple colors and geometric shapes create a sense of balance and harmony. This painting reflects Mondrian’s belief that art should express universal order and simplicity.
