Mondrian Composition Oversize Square Scarf from The Met Museum

Enliven your wardrobe with our fringed wrap featuring bold grids derived from modern art. Nearly 5-feet square, this soft, oversize blanket scarf evokes an early example of the geometric mode of painting that Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872-1944) called Neo-Plasticism. For Mondrian, Neo-Plasticism was a universal style because its emphasis on planar relationships could be extended not only to painting, but also to design and architecture. In this work the artist used thick black lines to divide the canvas into 11 rectangles, some of which he painted in primary colors.
