Irish novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter John Banville writes:
Nicholas Fox Weber’s biography of Piet Mondrian is as fastidiously passionate as his subject’s paintings. How wonderful it is to read of Mondrian’s gaiety and zest – he was a passionate dancer: who’d have thought? – as well as his rigour and unrelenting commitment to his own, absolutely his own, view of art and the world.
Mondrian: His Life, His Art, His Quest for the Absolute by Nicholas Fox Weber will be published in the English language by Alfred A. Knopf in October 2024.
Nicholas Fox Weber has been the executive director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation for four decades. He is the author of iBauhaus, Le Corbusier, Balthus, and Patron Saints, among others. His next book, Mondrian: His Life, His Art, His Quest for the Absolute will be published by Knopf in October. He lives in Connecticut, Paris, and Ireland.
