Vertical Composition with Blue and White
by Piet Mondrian :
Our word description of our abstract drawing:
You should use a paper 13 and a half inches long and 6 and a half inches
wide. Going from left to right, there's a thick black line one inch from
the edge of the paper (it's from top to bottom). Then, three inches from
the black line, is another black line (it's from top to bottom, too).
All of the black lines in this picture are one fourth of an inch thick.
On the right side of the second black line is another thick, black line,
three inches up from the bottom of the paper, but this one is horizontal.
Still on the right side of the second black line is another black line that
is one inch down from the top of the paper. This one is horizontal, too.
The little rectangle that it makes is colored in blue. All the rest is colored
in a very light tan.
