Looks Like Piet Mondrian

This photo was taken from the train while crossing to Venice.

The photo is much less austere, but it is still all shapes, lines and blocks of color.

Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1906 Mondrian (1872 – 1944), Dutch.

Explanation

I have long thought of doing this. I want to show the photos that I clam look like an artist's painting and then show an example of the original artist and tell why one is like the other.

I probably won't get too deep into the explanation because it is the eyes that discover art, not the accompanying text. When I decided that a photo looked like a certain artist, I didn't look for a painting that resembled it. It all came out of my head.

It can be different things. It can be the colors. It can be the subject matter. It can be the faces. It can be the forms. You can make up your own text.
