Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and theoretician who is one of the most renowned names in 20th-century art, widely acknowledged for his role in establishing the De Stijl artistic movement. His art evolved into a minimalist style that he described as Neoplasticism or "The Style," which reduced designs to simple geometric elements and primary colours.
