Mondria(a)n, en Route to New York plot

While Piet Mondrian contemplates and reconsiders his compositions, in which the thickness of a line has a decisive impact on the entire painting, the Second World War casts its shadow before him. Despite Mondrian's awareness of the impending danger, he hesitates and postpones his departure for New York to continue working on his paintings. Only when the ground becomes too hot for him does he impulsively depart. After arriving in New York, the once so characteristic black lines and planes of primary colors disappear from his paintings, making way for the rhythm of his new surroundings.
