中文简介：
皮特·蒙德里安（Piet Mondrian，1872-1944
年）是国际先锋派的关键人物，他既是一位杰出的画家，又是一位令页先的艺术理论家，其影响力至今仍引起共鸣。他创造了“新造型主义”一词，追求一种仅由原色与黑色垂直和水平线条网格以及白色底色背景组成的绘画风格。
蒙德里安的愿景是，这幅重要的绘画将有助于实现一个社会，在这个社会中，艺术本身没有地位，而是为了全面实现“美”而存在。蒙德里安曾在阿姆斯特丹、巴黎、伦敦和纽约工作过，他从现代大都市和现代音乐，尤其是爵士乐中汲取灵感。
1917 年，他与人共同创立了《风格派》，初是一本出版物，后来成为了一群致力于严格的水平和垂直几何艺术的实践者。
这本介绍性书籍通过重要的作品和简洁的文字，展示了蒙德里安犭虫特而开创性的作品，从白色条纹专辑封面到伊夫·圣洛朗连衣裙，这些作品为时尚、艺术、建筑和设计提供了持久的灵感。

英文简介：
A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) was
at once an extraordinary painter and leading art theoretician whose influence
resonates to this day. Coining the term “Neo-plasticism”, he pursued a style
of painting composed only of primary colors against a grid of black vertical
and horizontal lines and a white base background.
Mondrian’s vision was that this essential painting would help to achieve a
society in which art as such has no place, but rather exists for the total
realization of “beauty.” With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New
York, Mondrian drew upon the modern metropolis and modern music, especially
jazz, as points of inspiration. In 1917, he cofounded De Stijl, originally a
publication, and subsequently a circle of practitioners, committed to a
strictly geometrical art of horizontals and verticals.
With key works and succinct texts, this introductory book presents Mondrian's
distinctive and pioneering oeuvre, an abiding inspiration for fashion, art,
architecture, and design, from White Stripes album covers to Yves Saint
Laurent dresses.
