Piet Mondriaan
I guess I am not artistic afterall. I don’t see any art in it and I don’t understand why he is so famous.
The 2 black lines below is a real painting.

Look! There is even a stamp honouring his painting!
Piet Mondriaan was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. Despite being well-known, often-parodied and even trivialized, Mondrian's paintings exhibit a complexity that belies their apparent simplicity. He is best known for his non-representational paintings that he called compositions, consisting of rectangular forms of red, yellow, blue, white or black, separated by thick, black rectilinear lines. They are the result of a stylistic evolution that occurred over the course of nearly 30 years and continued beyond that point to the end of his life.

You have to see where the whole idea and movement of modernism came from, to understand Mondrian.
...or at least I had to.
I guess I am not very modernize. I would rather stick to Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Monet etc.
