Description

This Adirondack chair is a “kid size” chair modeled after an artist named Piet Mondrian, who was famous for art compositions using only primary colors of red, yellow, blue with black and white!


Piet Mondrian was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands, in 1872. He was the second of his parent's children. At a very young age his father Pieter and his Uncle Fritz, both artists themselves, introduced Piet to the world of art. Mondrian continued to explore abstract forms eventually developing a style of painting he called neo-plasticism.

Mondrian returned to Paris when the war ended. It was there that he painted one of his most famous paintings, Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue (1921), a painting composed of primary colored rectangles on a grid of black lines. In the years that followed, he continued to eliminate "non-essentials", limiting his works to these "basic forms of beauty."
