This iconic lacquered serving tray is featuring a painting of Piet Mondrian.
Handcrafted using the centuries old tradition of hand pouring several layers of lacquer, this wood item is a wonderful tribute to Mondrian's artwork. Each layer is individually hand polished taking several days, to create the unique, deep, rich finish which is impervious to heat and alcohol, The fine patina of the serving tray, created through this handcrafted process, will give you years of enjoyment. Permission from the Mondrian Trust was acquired to create this piece of art.
Mondrian was a Dutch painter, widely regarded as the founder of Modern art. The Bauhaus immediately referenced his work when discussing his lines, simplified colors and aesthetical appeal. His work inspired the Minimalist movement as well as far-reached impacts across all kinds of modern and post-modern culture.
Mondrian greatly contributed to the De Stijl art movement. He created a non-representational form recognized by its white ground, topped with a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. One of his most famous compositions in this style is Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow. Mondrian believed that the composition of the most fundamental aspects of line and color was the total realization of true beauty.
Painter’s work continues to have an immense impact on the development of modern art. Eventually, he influenced Art movements including the Bauhaus and Minimalism. He influenced the fashion designs of Yves Saint Laurent. He also inspired the design for the cover of The White Stripes 2000 album, De Stijl.
