“Nicholas Fox Weber’s biography of Piet Mondrian is as fastidiously passionate as his subject’s paintings. How wonderful it is to read of Mondrian’s gaiety and zest – he was a passionate dancer: who’d have thought? – as well as his rigour and unrelenting commitment to his own, absolutely his own, view of art and the world.” —John Banville, national bestselling author of The Lock-Up
“In Mondrian, the monk of modernism finally gets the flesh-and-blood portrait he deserves. The lifelong “quest for the absolute” does not shelter Mondrian from the temptations of love, the rewards and difficulties of friendship, or the profoundly playful spirit of jazz. Instead they enrich his art. This monk can dance.” —Mark Stevens, Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of de Kooning: An American Master
“Truly outstanding . . . [the] definitive book about Mondrian’s fascinating life, arts and quest. There have been many books about the man but this one is truly unique, Nicholas unearths many facts and details that Mondrian lovers like myself have never read before!” —Sir Paul Smith
“In this exceptionally well-crafted and researched biography, cultural historian Weber explores the intimate connection between Mondrian’s austere yet exuberant paintings and his life. . . . Written with a scholarly precision that revels in the nuances of Mondrian’s remarkable life and work, Weber’s book offers an immersive, if lengthy, biographical experience for lovers of both art history and modernism.” —Kirkus Reviews
