The latter’s works, with their musical overtones, in both small and larges sizes, especially “Attitude grise” (Grey attitude), a work in quite another style from the rest, and “Matière esprit” (Spirit matter) are particularly engaging. °Mondrian, younger than Vincent, turned to the abstract geometric style Nicole Lemoine, Graduated from the Institute of Art History, Lyon 2 – Speaker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
