From the museum website

“With over 100 paintings and drawings of quietly breathtaking beauty, this landmark exhibition, which will be seen only in Paris and Fort Worth, is the first devoted to Piet Mondrianā€™s early career, from his student years in Holland, working as a painter of romantic landscapes, to his emergence as an artist of international renown in cosmopolitan pre-World War I Paris. The exhibition was organized by the RĆ©union des MusĆ©es Nationaux, the MusĆ©e dā€™Orsay, and the Kimbell Art Museum, in collaboration with the Gemeentemuseum of The Hague. The guest curators are Hans Janssen, curator of the Gemeentemuseum, and Joop Joosten.”
