Began in Paris in 1938, carried to London during the onset of World War II, and finally completed in New York City in 1943, Place de la Concorde serves as a profound monument to Piet Mondrian’s late artistic transformation. Named after the famous public square in Paris, the painting reflects Mondrian’s response to the bustling energy, grid layouts, and modern momentum of the great Western metropolises. Moving beyond the sparse, static grids of his 1920s work, Mondrian introduces double and triple black grid lines that cross and interlock across the expansive white canvas. He abandons large, solid color fields in favor of vibrant, free-floating color blocks and small, unsynced primary color bars—saturated red, brilliant blue, and bright yellow—placed strategically along the perimeter and line intersections. This innovative technique creates a shimmering, optical cadence that mirrors the syncopated rhythms of American jazz and modern city traffic, representing one of Mondrian’s ultimate achievements before his final masterpiece, Broadway Boogie Woogie.
