Der Dutchman

In central Ohio, there are several restaurants named Der Dutchman. Having spent many lunch hours there with my dad, I appreciate the serenity of the atmosphere and the simplicity of the environment. That same Dutch simplicity is found in Dutchman Piet Mondrian's skilled manipulation of the artist color palette of red, blue and yellow.

Born in the Netherlands in the late 1800s, Mondrian became a central figure in the development of abstract art. His style, known as neoplasticism, is characterized by a grid of vertical and horizontal lines mixed with the primary palette. The overall effect is one of order as well as simplicity. He believed that art could reflect the underlying spiritual order of the world and his contributions have had a lasting impact on architecture, design, and fashion.


A few weeks ago, I spoke to a Plano, Texas group about Mondrian's strong influence on the fashion industry. Not only were his designs

popular in the 1960s, but they are just as popular now with boutique designers. In fact, his geometric designs still reflect a type of universal beauty born out of the De Stijl art movement.


Mondrian's simple designs are just one of the many art movements that influence fashion. To see more art movements that shape today's fashion trends, we invite you and your friends to attend the ART MEETS FASHION event on October 11, 2025 in McKinney, inside the beautiful Church Street Auditorium.

 What I love about speed stars is how every race feels like a new opportunity. Even if I mess up, I’m always ready to go again and do better. It's fast, fun, and super satisfying, speed stars really captures that perfect loop of challenge and reward.

Wow, Mondrian's impact is still so relevant! It's cool how his art makes me think of clean lines, simple joys, and maybe even a happy glass filled with something refreshing. Art truly inspires fashion!
