COMPOSITION WITH LARGE RED PLANE, YELLOW, BLACK, GRAY AND BLUE, 1921 OIL ON CANVAS
“The Allure of Square Art” — Piet Mondrian is a famous 20th century Dutch painter.
Mondrian took interest in impressionist techniques, and, like his countryman, Vincent Van Gogh, he used pure, glowing colors. Later on, he transitioned toward pointillist and cubist styles, as well as other abstract compositional structures.
In honor and commemoration of his legacy, Monteverde® is proud to introduce the Regatta Mondrian Limited Edition 921, a writing instrument that elegantly intertwines maritime grace with the profound artistic legacy of Mondrian. With meticulous intention, this pen's design pays homage to the rhythm and hues that defined Mondrian's iconic abstract paintings in the 1920s. Drawing inspiration from the fluid lines of sailing, the pen's form is a tribute to the artist's pursuit of a distinct abstract art, separate from the conventions of Cubism and Futurism.
In the spirit of Mondrian's palette, the Regatta Mondrian Limited Edition 921 embraces the limited colors of white, black, gray, and the primary hues.
Its composition, marked by thick horizontal and vertical lines, meticulously outlines the color rectangles, creating a symphony of rhythms that mirror the cadence of contemporary life. Like Mondrian's compositions, this pen's aesthetic is asymmetrical and dynamic—a dominant red block is balanced by smaller yellow, blue, gray, and white segments, echoing the very essence of Mondrian's brilliant works.
