Mondrian Men’s Socks from The Met Museum

Dress up your kicks-or dress down your oxfords-with bright socks designed for art lovers. Our colorful men’s socks evoke 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 he used thick black lines to divide the canvas into 11 rectangles, some of which he painted in primary colors.
