13 August 2014. Mondrian at the Turner Gallery, Margate

An interesting exhibition showing the dramatic transition, lubricated by theosophy, of Mondrian's work from more conventional representational work to the famous grids of primary colours, black and white. I found particularly memorable the pictures of his small Paris studio in which he lived alone for many years as well as the description of his voyage to New York in a convoy, during which he spend much of his time on deck as a precaution. A very interesting life, only really gaining recognition once he was in New York and taken up by Peggy Guggenheim. Most of the works came from the Hague.
