American MoMA Mondrian long handle umbrella color block abstract art simple niche umbrella birthday gift

This folding umbrella has a diameter of approximately 96 cm when opened. The pattern comes from a painting in the MoMA collection, Composition in Red, Blue, and Yellow (1937-42) by Piet Mondrian. In the 1920s, Mondrian began to create his widely disseminated minimalist abstract paintings. He limited his palette to white, black, gray, and primary colors, and his compositions consisted of thick black horizontal and vertical lines that outlined various colors or retained rectangular outlines. The simplification of the painting's elements was essential for Mondrian to create a new abstract art that was different from Cubism and Futurism. Blocks of various colors and lines of varying widths formed a rhythm that undulated across the surface of the canvas, echoing the changing rhythms of modern life.
