"Composition (no. III) with Red, Yellow, and Blue" 1935/1942 oil on canvas by Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) at @sfmoma the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Written near the painting: In its original finished state in 1935, this abstract composition contained fewer elements and was less colorful than it is now. Mondifian initially titled the work "Composition (no. III) blanc-juane" and exhibited it in New York. Seven years later, after he had emigrated from Europe to the United States, he returned to the canvas and added the blue vertical form at the bottom left and the two small, unbound red squares above it. He also retitled the painting in English, "Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue" and described the additions as "bringing in a little boogie-woogie." #pietmondrian #mondrian #sfmoma #modernart #nonobjective #boogiewoogie #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #first7 #first7week (at SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art)
