Piet Mondrian’s Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow (1930) is a bedrock work of modern grid-based design. We are printing this at an architectural scale to highlight the precision of the line work and the absolute saturation of the primary colors. This is a high-density archival pigment print on 330gsm matte stock, designed to function as a structural architectural finish.
The Scale and the Form
At 44" or 60", this composition moves beyond a standard wall hanging to function as a geometric partition. The 330gsm matte surface is essential; by eliminating light reflection, the white fields remain clean and the black lines sharp. There is no texture interference, allowing the pure, flat colors—the exact red, blue, and yellow of the De Stijl movement—to remain dense and uninterrupted.
Why This Matters for Your Space
This is a tool for spatial organization. The grid imposes order, making it a functional choice for rooms that feel cluttered or lack a central visual anchor. It bridges the gap between high-end modern art and structural interior design, defining the parameters of a room rather than simply decorating it.
How Designers Use It
Ideal for:
- Architectural offices, home studios, or minimalist living rooms
- Spaces that require high-contrast, linear geometry to correct weak architectural lines
- High-traffic areas where a durable, non-reflective graphic installation is needed
Works best with interiors featuring:
- Concrete, polished steel, or raw wood finishes
- Furniture with mid-century modern or industrial design cues
- Uncluttered, high-contrast environments where the primary colors can serve as a deliberate accent
What You’re Actually Buying
- Available Sizes: 44" x 44" (Residential Scale) or 60" x 60" (Architectural Scale)
- Material: 330gsm fine art matte paper (archival grade)
- Ink: Wide-format pigment ink (high UV resistance)
- Finish: Unframed (rolled, shipped in structural tube)
- Color Profile: Primary red, deep blue, bright yellow, stark white, and carbon black
Framing Advice
To preserve the geometric integrity, use a thin-profile, square-edge black aluminum frame. Do not add a mat; this piece is designed to reach the edges of the frame for maximum impact. If you prefer a wood frame, use a simple matte white finish to allow the work to sit flush with the wall.

About Piet Mondrian’s Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow
Piet Mondrian’s Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow (1930) is one of the most refined expressions of the De Stijl movement. Mondrian reduced painting to essential geometry—straight lines, primary colors, and balanced asymmetry—to create a universal visual language rooted in harmony and order. This work is a cornerstone of modern grid-based design and remains a foundational influence on architecture, graphic design, and contemporary minimalism.
