Diamond Painting in Red, Yellow, and Blue
by Piet Mondrian :
Our word description of our abstract drawing:
The paper with the picture on it is 5 in. tall and 7 in. wide. There is
a large diamond in the middle of the picture. From one point to another
it is 3 in. long. The whole background is black except the diamond in the
middle. There is a square on the left middle of the diamond. It is white
with a black outline. To the left of the square is a triangle which is at
the right point of the diamond. The point of the triangle has a point cut
off on the right side of it. There is a triangle below and it goes into
the square half an inch, but it's under the square. Next to that is a gray
rectangle with a point broken off. It is one inch long until it gets cut
off because of the diamonds. One inch is cut off on the point. Below that
is a little triangle. It is lighter gray. Next to the gray rectangle is
a small, yellow triangle. It goes up vertically. Its points face upward.
Above it is the right point of the diamond. It is black. Above it, next
to the complete square, is a light blue square with the right point broken
off. Above that is a blue triangle. One inch to the left of that is a light
blue triangle with its point broken off.
