American Abstract Artists Journal: Reflections on Mondrian

Description

On October 22, 1995 American Abstract Artists presented a symposium at the Museum of Modern Art following the October 1 opening of the Piet Mondrian retrospective. This issue of the American Abstract Artists Journal builds on the symposium member’s presentations. It also included contributions by AAA members, non-member artists, and historians. The journal discusses Mondrian’s historical influence, how current abstract art is being made, and his impact on AAA members and on the practice of abstraction.
