one of his painting abovePieter Cornelis Mondriaan was born in 1872 next to the kortegracht in Amersfoort. He came from an very strict Christian family and his father was the head (Principal) of a Christian school.
8 Years later (1890) the family Mondriaan moved to Winterswijk because of his father (his father had to work at the school in Winterswijk). Next to his father’ usual lessons he gave art class too (drawing etc. , his drawings were famous).
So when Mondriaan grew up as a child his father taught him some things about art and drawing. When mondriaan was 17 years old he got a diploma, With that diploma he could give art/drawing lessons on his father’ school And when he was 20 years old he got another diploma with that one he could give art/drawing lessons on college.

When he was 17 his uncle used to come by every now and then to paint the nature and he would go with him. His uncle taught him everything he knew about painting (all the hard things). After he got his diploma for giving art/drawing lessons on college (when he was 20) he decided to go to Amsterdam.
He then lived there at Kalverstraat at acquaintances of his parents.

He began to fit in with the people in Amsterdam and he joined the Arti et Amicitiae association and the painting club St.Lucas.
After 1912 mondriaan moved to Paris and he changed his name he dropped an (a) from mondriaan, Mondrian.
From that on he started signing all his work with Mondrian and not mondriaan...
The reason that Mondrian had to stay in Holland (when he was visiting his parents etc.)
Was that World War 1 had started. But when World War 1 had ended he went back to France where he would stay till 1938 and he would make composition A and B there.
In September 1938 Mondrian left Paris and went to London. But when Holland was invaded and France fell in 1940 (because of the Germans) he left France again and went to New York City where he would stay till he died (1944).
