    The artist of the painting called "New York City" is the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. He was a part of the De Stijl art movement, which emphasized depicting objects, scenes and figures as their basic geometric shapes in simple primary colors. You can see this approach reflected in "New York City," where the architecture of the Big Apple is depicted in simple grid lines in yellow, red and blue. Find a variety of abstract art from some of the world's top galleries on 1stDibs.
