Ode to Piet Mondrian

                                                                Cat Man Dew, C.T. Rasmuss; 2007.
Piet Mondrian has been a long time artist to go to for inspiration, especially for me after seeing his work up close at the MOMA in NYC.  It is a much different world in person than to see it from through a photo of his artwork; it's like starring helplessly yet willingly into a world of nothing and everything all at once (great emotional turbulence with a powerfully soothing after-taste).

In this post I have included a few photos of his works that have been exhibited at the Guggenheim, and some of my works that he has inspired in me; after seeing the real thing during my stay on Long Island, 2007-08.  Enjoy!!!
