The most recognized Piet Mondrian paintings are abstract paintings of colored squares, rectangles and thick black lines. Piet Mondrian was a famous abstract painter, born in the Netherlands in 1872. Piet did not start out painting squares and rectangles. He only started so during the tail end of the Impressionism movement.
The first Piet Mondrian paintings were consistent with the time period, taking a cue from the Post Impressionistic works of Van Gogh. Piet also took inspirations from Braque and Picasso, although he subsequently formed a very distinct style, all his own. There are several instances of a definite Post-impressionist and emotive use of color in his early paintings.
Through the provision of aesthetic beauty and breaking away from a representational form of painting, Piet Mondrian paintings were aimed at helping humanity. Starting as representational paintings, Piet Mondrian paintings evolved first into cubism, then into pure abstraction and non-representation. Eventually, the post-WWI war atmosphere of Paris allowed them to develop pure creative freedom.
Among Francis Bacon paintings, Crucifixion proved to be the first truly original work, although it was clearly indebted to the biomorphs of Picasso. This small spectral painting was followed by the successful Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion in 1944. A painting that riveted the attention of both public and critics, it left a lasting and disquieting impression on its viewers, with its hot orange background and stone-colored monsters of vaguely human descent.
An assemblage of meat carcasses and a mutilated, almost headless man beneath an umbrella is included among the Francis Bacon paintings. Francis started painting on the unprimed side of the canvas, said to be the wrong side, by 1948. The technique proved to be totally attuned to his temperature. Francis decided to stick to the technique from then on till the end of his life.
Featured in many Francis Bacon paintings of the 1960s, such as Study for Head of George Dyer, was petty criminal George Dyer, with whom Francis fell in love with after he caught him breaking into his home. Triptych featured George as he was found slumped dead in a hotel bathroom.
