IN MONDRIAN'S STUDIO Direction: François Lévy-Kuentz Photography: René Heijnen NSC Editing: Stéphane Huter Production: Centre Pompidou, Cinétévé, EMS Films, AVRO, Ina e Arte France-2010 The work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrain (1872- 1944) marked a turning point in the history of modern painting. Initially influenced by Cubism, Mondrian invented an original universe language of geometric shapes and primary colours in the early 1920s. Along with Kandinsky and Malevitch, he was one of the pioneers of pure abstraction, an innovative trend that strongly influenced 20th century art. Filmed in the exact replica of his studio at the 26 rue du Départ in Paris, this docu-fiction brings Mondrian back to life. It portrays the man who was passionate about dance and jazz and retraces his artistic path, from his first realist works to his mystical years, from the De Stijl movement to his departure for New York, where he died in 1944.
