This document provides information about the artist Piet Mondrian and his style of abstract art using lines, squares, and rectangles in primary colors. It explains that Mondrian was born in 1872 and initially painted realistic scenes, but his style evolved to focus on vertical and horizontal lines that formed squares and rectangles on the canvas. One of his late works, Victory Boogie Woogie, remained unfinished at his death and was inspired by New York city maps and jazz music.
