1939 — 1942, oil on canvas; 31 3/8 x 29 1/4 inches. Gift from the estate of Katherine S. Dreier, 1953. Paintings, 1374,
Dutch. On display in Goh Annex, Gallery 103, West. I saw this beauty at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, last week. Sure, Mondrian was a genius at organizing space, but when I’m standing in front of one of his paintings, I’m always bowled over by his remarkable sense of touch.

And he was a damn fine dancer too. that quality combined with the touch you experience makes those moments.
