The origin of the oil painting "Jazz on Broadway":
In 1930, Mondrian left Paris and came to London. Due to the impact of the war of World War II, he fled to the United States in 1940 and spent the last four years of his life in New York. New York, a modern metropolis, deeply attracted Mondrian with its unique prosperity:
The neat and rigorous street layout, rising skyscrapers, vibrant dance halls and jazz venues The band, as well as the gleaming, flickering lights at night... they both have some inner connection with his paintings, and are also filled with some unprecedented new spirit. As a result, his work began to change.
The painting routine that had been used for more than 20 years was broken. The black grid and large color blocks no longer exist, replaced by a colorful line structure composed of countless small color blocks and small blocks jumping between them. They are happy, bright, vibrant and musical.
