Biography:Piet Mondrian's real name is Pieter Cornelis Mondriann. He was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands. He was the second child of four, with is two brothers and one sister in his family. Plus, he was a Dutch painter. Mondrian changed the spelling of his signature from Mondriann to Mondrian, in Paris, to emphasize his departure from life in the artistic backwater of Holland. Also his father, Pieter Cornelius Mondriaan, was a qualified drawing teacher of an elementary school, and his uncle, Fritz Mondriann was a self-taught painter.
In 1892, Mondrian was already qualified as a teacher at the Academy for Fine Art in Amsterdam. He began his profession in primary education and while teaching he also practiced painting. At this period, most of his art works were about naturalism or impressionism. Then they also included pointillism and the vivid color of fauvism.
In 1912, while he was in Paris, he got influenced by the style of Cubism of Picasso and Braque.
